I found this good-condition hardcover at a local Goodwill thrift shop, and had to pick it up. It's a harrowing account of the gruesome fates of young US pilots on Chichijima, an island about 150 miles north of Iwo Jima, after being captured by the Japanese during WWII. The book goes into the culture and history of Japan as background, and includes looks at the propaganda of both sides - and it doesn't stint on descriptions of the more destructive Allied actions as experienced by the Japanese. The testimony of the men who witnessed the treatment of the Allied pilots indicates that many of them were as young and naive as their enemies were...

I plan to leave this book on a bench at Boire Field at around 11:30 or so. Hope the finder enjoys it!

*** Released as part of the 2016 One Word Title release challenge. ***

Found this book on a bench at Boire Field, right outside of my Dad's work (he's a fire-man). It's the first one I've ever found and I was ecstatic when I read the note and found out what it was. Unfortunately, the subject of the book is a little heavy for my liking so I will not be reading it. I will be releasing this book soon.

Hint: Keep looking up! ;)
