But what about the man behind the barbed wire that has to face daily, the bayonet, torture, and starvation? I speak not of the oriental soldier who can survive on a handful of rice a day, plus the fact as our prisoner he never had it so good. I speak of the American man who are used to three square meals a day. Who suddenly finds himself incarcerated by the enemy; having no idea how long he will have to rot in some vermin-infested camp. Drastically cut in ration, medical care, freedom and no sex. Wondering if he will live to see the sun come up the following day. I have often wondered about the man who set up these standards what would they do in the same situation. Did it ever occur to you how you would act? I credit my survival by mimicking the enemy in the only practice they knew. Ruthlessness. I had excellent teachers.\"In reference to the Code of Conduct - Albert Caron.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13753046\"\u003eJohnny Caron\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13753047\"\u003eAlbert Caron\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798650005186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8650005187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS027100\"\u003eMilitary | World War II\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44576523714797,"sku":"9798650005186","price":21.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_b37b57df-f014-4a5b-ba04-2ae2ba001165.jpg?v=1702012791","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/an-island-dies-wwii-prisoner-of-war-american-guerilla-autobiography-corregidor-philippines-1942-9798650005186","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
