Book Synopsis Profiles in Survival by : John C. Shively
Download or read book Profiles in Survival written by John C. Shively and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2011 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of seven men and one woman from Indiana who survived the horrors of captivity under the Japanese in the Pacific during World War II are captured in vivid detail. These Hoosiers were ordered to surrender following the fall of Bataan and Corregidor in 1942. It was the largest surrender of American armed forces in U.S. history and the beginning of three years of hell starting with the infamous Bataan Death March, facing brutal conditions in POW camps in the Philippines, and horrific journeys to Japan for some onboard what came to be known as “hellships.” Former Indiana governor Edgar D. Whitcomb, one of those featured in the book, notes that the American prisoners had to endure “unimaginable misery and brutality at the hands of sadistic Japanese guards,” as they were routinely beaten and many were executed for the most minor offenses, or for mere sport. In addition to Whitcomb, those profiled include Irvin Alexander, Harry Brown, William Clark, James Duckworth, Eleanor Garen, Melvin McCoy, and Hugh Sims.

Book Synopsis Experiment in Survival by : George Sigler
Download or read book Experiment in Survival written by George Sigler and published by . This book was released on 2001-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lieutenants George Sigler and Charlie Gore left San Francisco in a rubber inflatable boat with absolutely no water and only 6 pounds of food to test survival concepts while crossing the Pacific Ocean. This is the story of two men who believed that they could save lives of future castaways if they took a scientific approach to the problems of survival at sea. Caught in a raging storm, their raft was carried vertically up the side of a rouge wave that towered above them. They were totally helpless as the wave broke, throwing their raft stern over bow. The pilots-turned-seamen found themselves in 59-degree water fighting for their lives. Unable to right their raft and on the verge of becoming hypothermic, they took the drastic step of deflating the raft in order to pull it upright. Days of boredom were punctuated by moments of sheer excitement as whales surrounded their raft, and a Great White shark took all too much interest in them. They fought off an attack by dorado which were determined to sink them by biting through the bottom of the raft.
