註釋Based on the letters and cryptic diaries of Major Harry Fleeger who served with the 26th Cavalry (Philippine Scouts) in the Philippines, the book provides a poignant insight into the impact of war and imprisonment on an American soldier.Major Fleeger graduated from the U. S. Military Academy in 1931. A skilled and experienced horse cavalry officer, he joined the 26th Cavalry Regiment (PS) in 1940.Part war story, part love story, the gripping narrative covers Fleeger's pre-war life on Luzon, his recounting of the combat operations of the 26th Cavalry (PS) on Luzon andBataan, his imprisonment in the Japanese POW camp at Cabanatuan, and his deep love of and dependence on his wife Louise.Major Fleeger perished when a US submarine torpedoed the unmarked Japanese POW ship, Arisan Maru.The book also tells stories about all the officers of the 26th Cavalry (PS) who fought, died, or were executed in the Philippines, the handful of cavalry officers who survived, and storiesabout Fleeger's many officer and enlisted friends.
