Publisher's Synopsis

Imprisoned aboard an unmarked ship that was torpedoed by an American submarine, the wounded author struggled to survive. Mapes' memoir chronicles a gruelling three-year ordeal that was punctuated by strange, and often amusing encounters with fellow Americans, Japanese, Filipinos, and the fierce Moros of Mindanao Island.
