Více o knize
Set against the backdrop of World War II, this gripping memoir recounts the harrowing journey of a young mining engineer and his two American colleagues as they evade capture by Japanese forces in the Philippines. Rather than surrender, they join the Allied efforts and, after the defenders capitulate, embark on a perilous escape through the jungle. With a makeshift lifeboat, they navigate treacherous seas and hostile territories, battling starvation and storms for thirty days before finally reaching safety in Australia.
