New York: Warner Books, 1989. First Warner Books Printing [stated]. Mass market paperback. xxi, [1], 295, [3] pages. Maps. Appendices (includes a list of the 1,607 American prisoners aboard the Hell Ships of whom less than 400 survived. Index. Introduction by John Toland. The author survived the Bataan Death March, twenty-eight months of slave labor in the Philippines, and transport to Japan aboard the infamous "hell-ships." Manny Lawton was a twenty-three-year-old Army captain on April 8, 1942, when orders came to surrender to the Japanese forces invading the Philippine Islands. The next day, he and his fellow American and Filipino prisoners set out on the infamous Bataan Death March--a forced six-day, sixty-mile trek under a broiling tropical sun during which approximately eleven thousand men died or were bayoneted, clubbed, or shot to death. Yet terrible as the Death March was, for Manny Lawton and his comrades it was only the beginning. When the war ended in August 1945, it is estimated that some 57 percent of the American troops who had surrendered on Bataan had perished. This is the story of how men can suffer even the most desperate conditions and, in their will to retain their humanity, triumph over adversity. Some Survived is a harrowing, poignant, and inspiring tale that lifts the heart. More

Novato, CA: Presidio, 1997. Presumed First Edition/First Printing. Hardcover. 23 cm. xiii, [1], 340 pages. Illustrations. Map. Bibliography. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Minor soiling at bottom edge. Foreword by Stephen Ambrose. Inscribed by the author on title page to the grandson of one who landed at Utah Beach on D-Day. Derived from a Kirkus review: Masters, an Austrian-born Jew originally named Peter Arany, has an unusual war story to tell. Masters was one of 87 Jewish refugees from Hitler who volunteered for military service in Troop 3, No. 10 Commando, an elite unit of the British army. Troop 3 was unusual in that almost all of its members were Austrian and German Jews, men who spoke German fluently and who would be trained in the ways and means of the German army. For these men, some of them concentration camp survivors, this assignment represented a unique opportunity to fight back against the Nazis. Nearly all of them had previously been interned by the British as ""friendly enemy aliens"" when the war broke out. When they were recruited for ""special and hazardous duty,"" they were required to assume new identities, with elaborate cover stories to explain their oddly accented English. Thus, Masters recounts their grueling training with wit and gusto, leaving readers with little doubt that these men were ready for combat. Masters and other members of Troop 3 fought in Normandy for three long months; he would return to action in the Netherlands and participate in the final invasion of Germany. He presents the reality of the violence he witnessed. More
