Reseña del editor:

 

Captured by the Japanese after the fall of Bataan, Lester I. Tenney was one of the very few who would survive the legendary Death March and three and a half years in Japanese prison camps. With an understanding of human nature, a sense of humor, sharp thinking, and fierce determination, Tenney endured the rest of the war as a slave laborer in Japanese prison camps. My Hitch in Hell is an inspiring survivor’s epic about the triumph of human will despite unimaginable suffering. This edition features a new introduction and epilogue by the author.

Lester I. Tenney (1920–2017) was a survivor of the infamous Bataan Death March. He was a prisoner of war of the Japanese for a total of three and a half years. After a brief stint as a high school teacher, he entered the insurance business. He worked with the Arizona state legislature in developing a retirement and insurance program for all Arizona state employees. He was also a professor at Arizona State University. He is the author of several books, including The Courage to Remember: PTSD—From Trauma to Triumph. James B. Stockdale (1923–2005) was a U.S. Navy vice admiral and aviator who was held for seven years as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War and was subsequently awarded the Medal of Honor.
