DESCRIPTION:
Where I lived in Lowndes County, events in Europe and Asia, as menacing as they were, seemed light-years away. It was such an uncomplicated time that I could never have imagined that in just a few short years the entire world would be engulfed in war and that I would be caught in the middle of it. Overnight everything changes and his freedom, along with the freedom of thousands of others, instantly disappears. Folks were the same, weather was the same, the calendar was the same. During the next seven nights and six days, and for 90 miles, he is subjected to the unspeakable and inhumane horrors of the infamous Bataan Death March.

What an amazing man!I couldn't put it down once I started reading.. Great Story I meet Col. Frazier at the USS Alabama while coming home from vacation. I remembered him from "The War" series. Mt wife and I talked with him for 20 minutes and purchased 2 books. We gave one to my dad and he read it in 2 days. The other I am reading and am greating enjoying his story.His life after the war is very interesting.. Not able to put it down Like other folks that wrote a review, I also met Col. Frazier at a book signing. Col. Frazier talked with my children that are (8) and (10) years old and have left a life long memory in their mind of a great man.

Frazier's experience, detailed here in this remarkable book, is at once ironic, courageous, horrifying and ultimately redeeming, and he tells it as only an honest soldier can straight from the heart. Glenn Frazier's harrowing and heroic story is a constant reminder that the Second World War wasn't the good war of our subsequent mythologizing, but the worst war ever, where young men from the heartland sacrificed their innocence, and often a whole lot more, to create the world we now enjoy. --Ken Burns
