Let me start by saying this book is truly like no other book I have ever read on the topic of World War Two. It reads like something that should have been made into a movie starring Humphry Bogart great actor like Burt Lancaster.It is a wonderful, gritty read, about men who defy the odds and try to escape Corregidor as the Japanese accept the surrender of American forces in the Philippines. It shows their anger, concern and desire to escape what they saw as a disaster. They wanted to take their chances.And they did. They sank their primary ship and took off on a thirty foot half-open boat with the idea of finding Australia. However, in the haste to leave the area they managed to leave without maps and sextant. This is the story of how they survived, may have even thrived in some areas, and managed to do the impossible.Inside of this book you’ll read what it was like to take big risks. They hid from Japanese patrols, aircraft and even destroyers. They ate what they could find and may have even run into South Pacific cannibals in their quest to escape imprisonment by the Japanese.But I don’t want to spoil this adventure for you. So I won’t say more.I have two regrets in regards to this book. The first is simply finding this book so late in my studies. It’s a wonderful read. It’s a treasure like finding Etched in Purple: One Soldier’s War in Europe by Frank Irgang. In fact, I think they were published within a year of each other about 1943.The other regret is I’ve not found a copy of the first edition, yet.

Outstanding book and most excellent, (and pleasurable), to read. Truly a story within a story. This escape from the "rock" of the island of Corregidor, Republic of the Philippines, was written in December 1942 and printed in March 1943. The wording and vernacular magically transports the reader back in time. The author and Captain of the 36 foot diesel boat, (that escaped the wrath of the Japanese), Lieutenant Commander John Morrill, writes about one of his shipmates who's stammering problem is akin to that of the likes of the King of England. Morrill has a plethora of similar references to different movie stars and other notables of that timeline. He often refers to WWI as the World War, (apparently WWII didn't have it's moniker when John wrote about his odyssey).The heroics of this 18 man crew and how they jelled as a team is inspirational. Their 31 day, 2000 mile escape to freedom is just downright phenomenal. John also talks about Longaskagawayan Point and his mission there, (before the fall of Bataan). He was told to put the kibosh on the Japanese by shelling them from the sea via his mine laying ship, the USS Quail. He mentions that the concrete poured for the pill boxes on that mountain coastline, (just west of the Island of Corregidor), were 2 - 5 years old. Meaning the Japanese had some serious plans that were in the works for years prior to the start of WWII. I have had the pleasure of visiting the "rock" when I was stationed at Clark AB, RPI, and remember quite distinctly that mountain side. The locals referred to it as "Kamayian Point". Kamay meaning hand in Tagalog. That side of the mountain jutted out from the Bataan peninsula in five fingers, (if you will), and was thought to be the ideal offensive position for the Japanese Imperial Army -- as it overlooked all shipping coming into and out of Manila Bay. It was reported that of the 400 Japanese defending that point, only 5 survived that deadly shelling, via the USS Quail and the big guns of Corregidor.A must read for the WWII enthusiast. Most of the 18 man crew that escaped went on to serve the US Navy for 20 - 30 years. John Morrill retired as a Rear Admiral. I'd rate this book six stars if I could. Grab yourself a copy and enjoy the boat ride to freedom! You won't regret it.

This is a World War Two story, about a Naval officer leading 17 other seaman in a daring escape from Corregidor, in a 36-foot naval launch, after Corregidor's fall in 1942. As this book was finished in December 1942, all events are fresh in the author's mind, and it shows in the details provided in this book. As it was written in the early 1940's, he uses slang and language from the era, which I found refreshing. The men are also portrayed as how we'd like to believe American men from the era were ... rugged, noble, and a little bit naive.This is a great real-world adventure written at a time when ultimate victory over the Japanese was not assured. Five stars.

Wow! Cmdr Hollis really spins a yarn -- except its' all true! Put in context, it was written (dictated?) Christmas 1942, when the outcome of WW II in the Pacific was still very uncertain and a lot of US Marines, Sailors, Soldiers and Airman -- as well as thousands of Japanese military and civilians -- were still to die. Knowing a little about navigating a small boat on the open ocean, this was a magnificent feat of seamanship, plus discipline and leadership. Found the epilogue also very interesting -- everyone went back to work fighting, training, several being killed in the process. These are the real heros of WW II. we'll never see their likes again. Thanks, Skipper Hollis!
