Back from the Living Dead: An original story describing the infamous march of death; 33 Months in a Japanese Prison and Liberation by the Rangers

Back from the Living Dead: An original story describing the infamous march of death; 33 Months in a Japanese Prison and Liberation by the Rangers

On April 9, 1942, tens of thousands of American and Filipino troops were forced to march sixty-five miles in brutal conditions in what has become known as the Bataan Death March.

Japanese soldiers physically and mentally abused the prisoners of war as they made this tortuous journey, and many were simply shot in cold blood.

Yet, for men who survived this ordeal, like Major Bert Bank, this was not the end of their nightmare.

Instead Bank was forced to survive the atrocious conditions of Japanese prison camps, where many of his fellow men died of disease, starvation, neglect and brutality, for a further thirty-three months until he was rescued by U.S. Rangers on January 30, 1945.

Major Bert Banks’ account provides vivid insights into life as a prisoner of war under Japanese control during the Second World War.

Written the same year as his release Back from the Living Dead discusses both the cruelties and kindnesses that he received from his guards, as well as how he and his fellow prisoners were forced to go to extreme lengths in order to survive.

Major Bert Bank was an American war hero, radio pioneer who founded three radio stations, and politician who served as a member of both the Alabama House of Representatives and Alabama Senate. His book Back from the Living Dead was first published in 1945 and he passed away in 2009.
