"One man's chronicle of his incredible 159-day escape from the infamous Bataan Death March and harrowing voyage across the enemy-held Pacific in a leaky, wooden boat during World War II."--Jacket. The soldier sailed across 3200 miles of treacherous waters from the Philippines to northern Australia. The memoir was written a year after Gause's escape using notes and the journal he kept during the journey, and then kept for more than 50 years in his foot locker.
