Publisher's Synopsis
Back from the Living Dead, first published in 1945, is the first-hand account of Army Air Corps Major Burt Bank's experiences as part of the Bataan Death March and his subsequent prison camp experiences in Camp O'Donnell, Davao Penal Colony, and Cabanatuan, Philippines. In January 1945, Bank was part of the group of surviving POWs freed by U.S. Army Rangers. Back from the Living Dead was one of the first post-war accounts detailing the Death March and prisoner of war atrocities. Author Bertram Bank (1914-2009), from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, would go on to serve in Alabama's House of Representatives and Senate, and was also the founder of the Alabama Football Radio Network.
