Synopsis
"The War Journal of Major Damon "Rocky" Gause is one man's chronicle of his incredible 159-day escape from the infamous Bataan Death March and harrowing voyage across the enemy-held Pacific in a leaky, wooden boat during World War II."--BOOK JACKET. "Immediately following his return to safety, Major Gause wrote his memoir using his notes from the battered ship's log and the handmade diary he kept throughout the journey."--BOOK JACKET. "The War Journal of Major Damon "Rocky" Gause is accompanied by photographs taken during the voyage and an Introduction and Epilogue by Rocky's son, Damon L. Gause. This document pays tribute to the bravery of those who fought and died beside him."--BOOK JACKET., A Veterans Day treasure, the true, first-person account of a captured World War II soldiers incredible escape and courageous journey home, discovered after more than fifty years. Of all the heroic stories to come out of World War II, few are so extraordinary as that of Major Rocky Gause, who was captured by the Japanese, escaped from the infamous Bataan Death March, and, with a fellow soldier, endured a harrowing voyage across the enemy-held Pacific in a leaky, hand-crafted boat. In the battered notebook he kept throughout his journey and later converted to a thrilling narrative, Gause traced his steps from the besieged city of Manila on New Years Eve, 1941, to his safe landing on the Australian coast ten months later.
