Lieutenant William Frederick "Bill" Harris was twenty-five years old when he was captured by Japanese forces during the 1942 Battle of Corregidor. This son of a decorated Marine general escaped from hell on earth by swimming eight hours through a shark-infested bay-but his harrowing ordeal had just begun. Shipwrecked on the southern coast of the Philippines, he was sheltered by a Filipino aristocrat before eventually setting off through hostile waters to China. Harris and his crew then made an agonizing journey to Australia only to be betrayed and handed over to the Japanese. Held for two years in the notorious Ofuna prisoner-of-war camp, Harris was starved, tortured, and beaten, all while teaching himself Japanese to eavesdrop on guards and create secret codes to communicate with fellow prisoners. After liberation on August 30, 1945, Bill represented American Marine POWs during the Japanese surrender before flying to a home he had not seen in four years. Through military documents, personal photos, and an unpublished memoir provided by his daughter, Valor dramatically reveals Harris's experiences through his own words in the expert hands of bestselling author and retired fighter pilot Dan Hampton.
