This is an amazing book of courage and adventure as Damon Gause escapes the Bataan Death March, deciding that was not for him. His travels from the Philippines to Australia, a trip of 3200 miles in a boat that continues to break down, leak, and is in constant need of repair. His stops at the various islands along the way, receiving help in repairs, and the generous supplies from the natives; his encounters with the Japs seemingly at every turn and the humor he employs to avoid capture will take you there right along with him. A wonderfully written book that I can describe as only miraculous to make it though typhoons and enemy waters(not to mention the sharks) -- if you have read "Ghost Soldiers", you will want to read this. Hard to put down.
