This is an interesting story about a man named Ben Steele, now 91 years old, who survived the Bataan Death March as a soldier during World War II, when the Japanese army forced American and Filipino prisoners of war on a brutal, horrific march across sixty miles: A POW's 'Tears in the Darkness'.
Steele, one of the last living survivors of Bataan, recounts his story in a new book, Tears in the Darkness. The book not only describes his ordeal, but also the anger and prejudice he felt towards Japanese people after the war, and how he overcame that hatred, finding help through an unlikely source.
