Synopsis
On December 14, 1944, Japanese soldiers massacred 139 of 150 American POWs. This biography tells the story of Glenn (""Mac"") McDole, one of 11 young men who escaped and the last man out of Palawan Prison Camp 10A., On December 14, 1944, Japanese soldiers massacred 139 of 150 American POWs. This biography tells the story of Glenn ("Mac") McDole, one of eleven young men who escaped and the last man out of Palawan Prison Camp 10A. Beginning on December 8, 1941, at the U.S. Navy Yard barracks at Cavite, the story of this young Iowa Marine continues through the fighting on Corregidor, the capture and imprisonment by the Japanese Imperial Army in May 1942, Mac's entry into the Palawan prison camp in the Philippines on August 12, 1942, the terrible conditions he and his comrades endured in the camps, and the terrible day when 139 young soldiers were slaughtered. The work details the escapes of the few survivors as they dug into refuse piles, hid in coral caves, and slogged through swamp and jungle to get to supportive Filipinos. It also contains an account and verdicts of the war crimes trials of the Japanese guards, follow-ups on the various places and people referred to in the text, with descriptions of their present situations, and a roster of the names and hometowns of the victims of the Palawan massacre.

    This hardback book is of the highest quality, has a fine appearance , arrived in perfect condition, and is an excellent value. On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.

    Good book on one mans survival of the Palawan POW camp and Massacre

    I recently finished both Last Man Out and The Great Raid on Cabanatuan by William Breuer. Both were very important accounts of POWs in the Philippines during WWII! These events need to be taught more thoroughly, and the survivors of Japanese POW camps honored as the heroes they are. Last Man Out had a very different writing style then Great Raid on Cabanatuan. Last Man Out was definitely a biography focusing on McDole and his experiences in Palawan at the prison camp there. It is a great account by one survivor, but the author used few other sources. As this is meant to be biographical that is fine, and once again an amazing story that I was honored to read. The Great Raid spent a great deal of time discussing pre-surrender situations for American troops on both Corregidor and Battaan ...
