Product Information

Surviving the Sword draws on diaries and interviews to tell the horrific story of the American, British, and Australian prisoners held by the Japanese during World War II. Japanese and Korean guards starved and beat their prisoners; they marched them to the brink of death, transported them on overcrowded and disease-ridden "hellships," and used them as slave labor. Thousands died from tropical diseases. The diaries and sketches cited by MacArthur are evidence of great courage: if the guards had discovered them, they would have resorted to murder. But beyond the atrocities and fear, there are inspirational stories of strength and compassion: how the prisoners staged cricket matches in the jungle, risked death to steal from the Japanese, and operated on one another with razors and butcher's saws. Survivors of the camps recall an overwhelming sense of camaraderie--a silent understanding of what solidarity and friendship can mean. MacArthur's eloquent reporting captures both the despair and everyday heroism of these extraordinary men.
