The harrowing experiences of Allied POWs during their transport on Japanese hellships are vividly detailed, revealing a nightmare that many survivors considered worse than the Bataan Death March. Thousands were crammed into ship holds, subjected to brutal conditions and forced labor, amplifying the horrors of prison camp life. Gregory Michno utilizes accounts from American, British, Australian, and Dutch POWs, along with Japanese convoy histories and declassified reports, to provide a comprehensive and chilling portrayal of this dark chapter in history.
