Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Americans displayed Supreme Sacrifice, Raw Courage, and Uncommon Valor. This book follows Ralph J. Poness's first book P.O. W. A Sailor's Story. The new book, 10,000 Down, A Short Tale of American Prisoners of War captured in the Philippine Islands during World War 11 details what happened to the Americans and her Philippine allies when they surrendered to the Japanese. They fought bravely, assiduously with inadequate World War I equipment, waiting for the arrival of fresh troops and modern equipment. These never came. Nevertheless, they managed to delay the Japanese timetable for conquest. To this point, every Western colony except Australia and New Zealand had already been conquered.
