Publisher's Synopsis
The time is World War II; the place, a brutal prison camp deep in Japanese-occupied territory. Here within the seething mass of humanity, one man, an American corporal, seeks dominance over both captives and captors alike. His weapons are human courage, an unblinking understanding of human weaknesses, and a total willingness to exploit every opportunity to enlarge his power and corrupt or destroy anyone who stands in his path.
This enthralling masterpiece about life as a prisoner of war will keep listeners spellbound from the first chapter to the last.
