The personal memoir of Colonel David L. Hardee, dictated and written at sea from April-May 1945 following his liberation from Japanese captivity, is a thorough treatment of his time in the Philippines. This once-forgotten memoir has been carefully edited, illustrated, and annotated to unlock the true depths of Hardee’s experience as a soldier, prisoner, and liberated survivor.
The personal memoir of Colonel David L. Hardee, dictated and written at sea from April–May 1945 following his liberation from Japanese captivity, is a thorough treatment of his time in the Philippines. A career infantry officer, Hardee fought during the Battle of Bataan as executive officer of the Provisional Air Corps Regiment.
Captured in April 1942 after the American surrender on Bataan, Hardee survivedthe Bataan Death March and proceededto survive a series of prison camps. A debilitating hernia left Hardee too ill to travel to Japan in 1944, making him one of the few lieutenant colonels to remain in the Philippines and subsequently survive the war. As a primary account written almost immediately after his liberation, Hardee’s memoir is fresh, vivid, and devoid of decades of faded memories or contemporary influences associated with memoirs written years after an experience. This once-forgotten memoir has been carefully edited, illustrated, and annotated to unlock the true depths of Hardee’s experience as a soldier, prisoner, and liberated survivor of the Pacific War.
