Product Description
The true story of U.S. Marine Edmond Babler who was forced to surrender during the early days of the U.S. involvement in World War II when the fortress Island of Corregidor fell to the Japanese. Not written in the typical historical context but in a biographical view, this manuscript, transcribed from his own narrative, is Ed's story from the time he joined the Marine Corps until his return from 1,220 days of brutal captivity in Japanese prisoner of war camps. It is intended, in Ed's own words, as "A true history of my struggle for survival in Japanese Prison Camps in the jungles of the Philippine Islands, on air-fields and a coal mine in Japan."
About the Author
Robert C. Daniels grew up in Waupun, Wisconsin. After graduating from Waupun Senior High School with the class of 1976, he joined the U. S. Navy. Upon his retirement from the Navy as a Chief Petty Officer, he attended and graduated from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia with a BA in history and then the American Military University where he received an MA in Military Studies, Land Warfare. Remembering as a youth listening to Edmond Babler talk while Ed and his wife Jeanette visited the Daniels family home in Waupun about his ordeal as a Japanese held POW during WWII, the author was inspired to write this account using Ed Babler's own narrative, which Ed aptly entitled "1220 Days in Hell." Robert currently lives with his wife Rebecca and their cherished pets in Chesapeake, Virginia.
