This is a fascinating account of a prison escape by a group of US POWs in the Philippines in World War II. After surviving the Bataan Death March and horrific prison camp conditions, they were eventually transferred to the Davao penal colony, where a small group of soldiers hatched an escape plan...

A moving account of the hardships faced by some of our soldiers. Reading this makes you wonder why the stories of what the Japanese did to prisoners was not disclosed earlier in the war. Why was FDR so pro-Europe that our Pacific vets (including CBI) were almost forgotten?

The actual escape in "Escape from Davao" might have been interesting but I just couldn't get to it. I found the book deadly boring and gave it up partway through.
