Last Man Out: Glenn McDole, USMC, Survivor of the Palawan Massacre in World War II

On December 14, 1944, Japanese soldiers massacred 139 of 150 American POWs. This is the biography of Glenn "Mac" McDole, one of eleven men who escaped and the last man out of Palawan Prison Camp 10A. This young Iowa Marine's story begins in December 1941 and takes us through the fighting on Corregidor, capture and imprisonment by the Japanese Imperial Army, Mac's entry into the Palawan prison camp and the terrible conditions prisoners endured there, and the day when 139 young soldiers were slaughtered. It details the escapes of the few survivors, who dug into refuse piles, hid in coral caves, and slogged through swamp and jungle to reach help. An account of the Japanese guards' war crimes trials, follow-ups on the places and people involved, and a roster of the Palawan massacre victims are included.
