- Summary:
- Beebe's diary reveals the experiences of an American officer as a prisoner of the Japanese after being captured on Corregidor. His account offers insight into the treatment accorded to officers and shows how the Corregidor prisoners fared compared with the ill-fated Bataan captives. Beebe's writings describe life in captivity, from poor rations and field work in camps in the Philippines, Taiwan, and Manchuria, to POW concerts and Red Cross visits.
