I wanted to find out what happened during this historic event since my husband's grandfather went through the death march. Although it didn't have as much detail as Unbroken, I thought the author did a great job. I especially thought it was inspiring to read about Clarance's faith and optimism while going through such an experience.
I have always been interested in World War II because I had 5 uncles and my father who were in the war. I have read a lot of accounts and stories about men who fought in Europe but have not read much about the Pacific theater. I loved this book. It gave me an insight into how the POW's were treated. It is amazing so many do survive their ordeal. I loved the poetry at the end of the book. It was the first I had read pertaining to the war in any of the theaters of operation. It was wonderful and reminded me just what our soldiers and sailors go through in any war.
