 Laughter In Hell by Stephen Marek.
Very factual story of Lt. E.L Guiry, USN, and
T/Sgt. H.C. "Tom" Nixon, USMC. Travails of two men,
one from Guam and one from Corregidor as they pass through Zentsuji,
Tanagawa, Umeda and Tsuruga. Well illustrated and gives a complete
understanding of their lives as slaves and how they learned to
organize and survive. Under the camp leadership of Zimo Tarnowski,
a Navy Aerographer from the Philippines, they started a "school"
to teach fellow prisoners how to steal food and eventually corrupt
the prison staff. Out of print and hard to find but worth the
price. Not Recommended: Yanks Don't Cry - Martin Boyle: Written to make a movie. Main Index Page Main Umeda Page Contact Us |
