Sintesi dell'editore
Captured by the Japanese after the fall of Bataan, Lester I. Tenney was one of the very few who would survive the legendary Death March and three and a half years in Japanese prison camps. With an understanding of human nature, a sense of humor, sharp thinking, and fierce determination, Tenney endured the rest of the war as a slave laborer in Japanese prison camps.
My Hitch in Hell is an inspiring survivor's epic about the triumph of human will despite unimaginable suffering. This edition features a new introduction and epilogue by the author.

Greatness period!
This is a must have book. It tells the story of the Bataan March but it covers what lead up to the fall of Bataan and life as a POW. Most of the book is about the experience of being a POW during WWII. This is a personal account with many gruesome details not always talked about. I loved it cover to cover, give it a try you'll know if this ones for you in an hour.

You Are There . . .
Tenney paints a very vivid picture of what these men endured thru Japanese prison camps.
At times (* most of the time ) it was difficult for me listen to.
The historical Bushido code made these ‘soldiers’ barbaric, unmerciful, sadistic.. Unfortunately, these soldiers were the worst of the worst, not even fit for combat. So you can imagine they're ignorance.
How he didn’t "go off” and slug a Jap is beyond me. I know I could not have lasted 3 1/2 years.
It also very interesting how the prisoners helped each other, not the -dog-eat-dog world you might imagine.
He was smart in that he made a good effort in learning the Japanese language, and this helped him thru immeasurably,.
One Sgt in charge of the men at one camp, was selfish and mean spirited. The Japanese gave him the ‘honor’
of disciplining the prisoners. He’s sadistic nature caught up with him, KARMA.
On the ship ride back to the states, it states he never got off the pier, In other words, they dumped
his sorry A$$ overboard.
This is a great read, and the narrator makes come alive. Can’’t recommend it enough.

Good book
I’ve read hundreds of WW2, and I enjoyed this one a good amount. It’s an interesting tale, and it moves at a quick pace.
I do, however, question some of the stories - they don’t sound quite right to me based off what I’ve read from other POWs, but it’s noting that big. Also note this was written about 50-years after the fact, so that is an issue when it comes to accuracy. But, again, it’s just something to note - it a deal breaker. Also while most of the book is interesting, parts of the book just come off as complaining - like wanting to a big payday from the US for having served in a Japanese prion set of war camp. That’s a big disconnect since he talks about how he got a big payday earlier in the book when he greatly embellished the possessions he lost. Stuff like that is a bit grating, and in my opinion keeps this from being a top notch book. But, again, it’s just something to note - not a recommendation against the book in the least.
The reader did a good professional job.

Like Wow
This is crazy, can't believe what these guys have seen. I feel as if I have been through a good amount in my life but the things that are described in this book are horrific. Not sure how people come back out of this if they survive.

You have no idea…
You have no idea as to what these prisoners of war went through. It’s hard to believe one human can treat another human with such cruelty. Many times in listening to this account I became sick to my stomach imagining the horrors this experience. If want to know the real truth, listen to this book.

Very interesting
While I was not involved with the Pacific side of the 2nd World War, I was mixed up with the German side of the War, I was in Buchenwald Concentration Camp for 3 years and I was only five and a half years old when I arrived there in 1942 and for a child of that age it was really traumatic, especially so as being separated from my mother as she was taken to a different Camp.

Horrifying but well told
How could anyone live through this and stay sane.
To come home without a hero’s welcome is beyond understanding but epilogue does much to explain some of the reasons why.
