"John Lukacs has justifiably brought attention to one of the Pacific War's most overlooked stories in his riveting book about the escape from Davao. Lukacs so breathes life into the tale that readers feel the drama and suspense as if they were present." -John Wukovits, author of Admiral "Bull" Halsey: The Life and Wars of the Navy's Most Controversial Commander, "John Lukacs has justifiably brought attention to one of the Pacific War's most overlooked stories in his riveting book about the escape from Davao.' Lukacs so breathes life into the tale that readers feel the drama and suspense as if they were present."?—John Wukovits, author ofAdmiral "Bull" Halsey: The Life and Wars of the Navy's Most Controversial Commander, " Escape From Davao is a remarkable story that explores the heights of human courage and compassion even as it reveals the depths of brutality that one set of human beings is capable of inflicting on another. Exhaustively researched and superbly written, the book incorporates many elements of a well-crafted suspense novel. Indeed, readers may wish at times that it were fiction, rather than cruel, distressing fact." -Bill Sloan, author of Brotherhood of Heroes , The Ultimate Battle and The Darkest Summer, "Like the event it covers,Escape from Davaois unique. Many World War II books chronicle American POWs escaping from German camps. You are holding in your hands the story of the only successful American group escape from a Japanese camp. "—James Bradley, author ofFlags of Our Fathers, Flyboys, andThe Imperial Cruise, "Like the event it covers, Escape from Davao is unique. Many World War II books chronicle American POWs escaping from German camps. You are holding in your hands the story of the only successful American group escape from a Japanese camp. " -James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers, Flyboys , and The Imperial Cruise, "Escape from Davaois an extraordinary book for at least two reasons. One is the quality of the author's storytelling; the other is the richness of his research. His reconstruction of this almost entirely unknown episode of World War II is formed into a superb and inspiring narrative. And more than commendable is the evidence of his truly exhaustive research ? rare in the historiography of that war." --John Lukacs, author ofThe Legacy of the Second World WarandThe Duel: The Eighty-Day Struggle Between Churchill and Hitler, " Escape from Davao is an extraordinary book for at least two reasons.
