Review: I was impressed - This book is haunting because though it was set in World War 2, it shows what we as humans are capable of when we believe that there is no hope of being rescued and have can rely only on ourselves for survival. The dark elements touched upon in this story aren't for everyone but it should be recommended reading because we often chose to forget just how horrible things got not only for the Japanese but for those who were trapped in occupied areas.
Review: Five Stars - Kind of a creepy book and I loved it

Kind of a creepy book and I loved it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Japanese Soldier On the Run in the Philippines
*by R***R on December 10, 2018*

This is the story of one Japanese soldier separated from his unit who wonders about an island in the Philippines at the time that US forces are retaking the island. The soldier is threatened with starvation but scavenges a living in the jungle. He murders a woman in an abandoned town, and is constantly terrified by the threat of violence from anti-Japanese insurgents. He sees his compatriots practicing cannibalism in order to survive but finally makes it to a disembarkation point and is repatriated by the Imperial Navy. At home he divorces his wife and is committed to an asylum. Like a lot of post-World II novels written by Japanese soldiers, the emphasis is on the suffering of the Japanese military, not the brutalities committed by the same soldiers.
