On December 14, 1944, the Oryoku Maru, or "December Ship," was attacked by planes of the U.S. Navy, who had no way of knowing 1,619 Allied POWs were on board. One of those prisoners was then-Lieutenant Arden R. Boellner. Through letters, documents, and interviews with survivors, this is an account of Lt. Colonel Boellner's World War II tour of duty, his capture at Mindanao, life in Japanese POW camps in the Philippines, and the horrors of the "December Ship" that led to his death. Numerous photographs, some published for the first time, show life inside the camps.
