Rating: - Too much self-aggrandizement
I'm finishing up this book right now. I've read a lot of history books from WWII and I'm a veteran, but not of that era. I completely agree with the other 2 star rater--the degree of self-aggrandizement is excessive, and makes it a difficult read as I found it to be quite distracting, even if it is ALL true. As far as it being 'myth telling' and a book of fiction, who knows, I wasn't there--but as Dr. House says, everyone lies and detail from 50 years ago is bound to be lost or distorted--however, ...

Rating: - Pages flew by
This is a story about a terrible event in history. This is not a fun story to read but it is one that needs to be read to help us appreciate how good our life really is. There are many memorable parts to this book, I am amazed anyone could survive this.

Rating: - Tenney does justice to an event all too often forgetten....
I just finished this book, and I must say I am inspired. Lester Tenney deserves an enormous amount of respect and admiration for what he endured and acomplished during his time as an american POW.

While this is not exactly a full account of the Death March and the surrounding events filled with statistics and data, it is Tenney's first hand account that makes this horrendous event so palpable that the reader feels as though they are enduring the very same hardships.

Do not expect ... Read More
