(4) YA In 1941, fifteen-year-old Henry Forrest runs away from his abusive father to join the Marines and is stationed in the Philippines. When U.S. forces surrender to the Japanese, Henry and his fellow prisoners of war endure brutal treatment during what became known as the Bataan Death March. The characters lack dimension, but copious historical detail and intense battle action may satisfy historical fiction fans.
