"Apocalypse Undone recounts Preston Hubbard's four-and-a-half year odyssey from a young, idealistic CCC worker to a much older, troubled man full of contempt for war and those who make it. Incredibly, he survived the Bataan Death March; imprisonment at Camp O'Donnell, where the death rate from thirst and dysentery ran more than four hundred a day; a jungle work detail on Tayabas Isthmus; the starvation diet of Manila's Bilibid Prison; the black holds of the Hell Ship Nissyo Maru on a seventeen-day voyage to Japan; and a Japanese prison camp where POWs in unmarked barracks were bombed by American planes. In his own words, Hubbard retraces his years of military service and sets them clearly in the larger context of his life as citizen and historian."--Jacket.
