Description
Almost sixty years after the fact, revisionists continue to deny these horrors, but The Fallen provides indisputable evidence that Japan had indeed subjected American POWs to live medical experiments?such as mutilating their organs, draining their blood, and pumping seawater into their veins. Landas?s meticulous and imaginative detective work reconstructs a long-buried investigation that implicates not just a few rogue soldiers but Japanese scientists, professors, and politicians, abetted by an American cover-up at the highest levels.

Book, 1st ed, Doubleday, 2001
Description
The prisoners included the last survivors of the Bataan Death March left in the camp, and their extraordinary will to live might soon count for nothing?elsewhere in the Philippines, the Japanese Army had already executed American prisoners as it retreated from the advancing U.S. Army.

Description
While Rosie the Riveter and millions of American women fought World War II on the home front, other women witnessed the war firsthand. Although most of us are familiar with accounts of POWs, few realize that the Japanese imprisoned thousands of American civilian women in the Philippines during World War II. While most civilian women were interned, others fled into the hills or adopted new identities to avoid captivity, relying on neighbors and former servants for survival.
