Death on the Hellships by Gregory F Michno
Now available in paperback, Death on the Hellships chronicles the true dimensions of the Allied POW experience at sea. It is a disturbing story; many believe the Bataan Death March even pales by comparison. Survivors describe their ordeal in the Japanese hellships as the absolute worst experience of their captivity. Crammed by the thousands into the holds of the ships, moved from island to island and put to work, they endured all the horrors of the prison camps magnified tenfold. Gregory Michno draws on American, British, Australian, and Dutch POW accounts as well as Japanese convoy histories, declassified radio intelligence reports, and a wealth of archival sources to present a detailed picture of the horror.
Greg Michno is the son of a WWII submariner whose boat participated in one of the infamous torpedoings of a Japanese "hellship." He has written twelve non-fiction books, several of them award winners, and more than forty articles. He and his wife, Susan, live in Erie, Colorado, USA.
