Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The doctor, Ralph Emerson Hibbs, was the surgeon of the 2nd Battalion of the 31st Infantry Regiment, and he was responsible for the health of some 700 soldiers in the field. He had no quinine to treat his malaria, and he was delirious. #2 The news that General King would surrender his troops in the morning was met with relief by some, but sadness by others. The men were gaunt, shell-shocked, and addled with nerve fatigue. They were so exhausted that their hair was tired. #3 The men of the 31st Infantry, which had seen a disproportionate share of sickness and death, were also the most starving of all the American units on Bataan. They had been forced to retreat from the blood-soaked battlefield, with their brains pushing out of their heads and their faces becoming colorless. #4 When the fighting was not going on, a lieutenant named Henry Lee would write poetry lines from his foxhole. He was from Pasadena, California, and had been educated at Pomona College.
