"In the spring of 1974, Second Lieutenant Onada of the Japanese army, made world headlines when he emerged from the Philippine jungle after a thirty-year ordeal. Hunted in turn by American troops, the Philippine army and police, hostile islanders and successive Japanese search parties, Onoda had skillfully outmaneuvered all his pursuers. Year after year he continued with his efforts to evade capture and stay alive, convinced that World War II was still being fought and waiting for the day when his fellow soldiers would return victorious. This first person account of those years is filled with all the drama, tension, and excitement of epics of danger and the will for survival. A soldier who fought and survived the war's longest loneliest battle." $22.50USD
