Inhaltsangabe

The unabridged original diaries of Colonel Arthur Lee Shreve, Jr. - a first-hand memoire of the Fall of Bataan and WWII history and the unparalleled survival story that followed; a colonel who went all-in for his fellow American GIs for four years as a POW of the Japanese-- a compassionate leader who believed that a rising tide lifts all ships. When COL Arthur Lee Shreve, Jr. (U.S. Army pilot, WWI) becomes a POW of the Japanese, his life turns into an unforgettable tale of grit, American ingenuity, and raw bravery. After the fall of the Philippines, he survives the Bataan Death March, cares for his men, and leverages a secret intelligence operation for humanitarian purposes. Working with the Filipino Resistance, he smuggles in his own checkbook to buy food for his men-unthinkable acts of courage under the direst circumstances, risking execution, saving lives, and forging a legacy of leadership and purpose that defines a true hero: The Colonel's Way.
