De: Julien Goodman

Narrado por: Richard Daleki

In April of 1942, author Julien Goodman, MD was working as a member of the US Army Medical Corps at General Hospital Number One in Bataan when the hospital fell into the hands of the Japanese. M.D.P.O.W. is a description of Dr. Goodman's experiences as a prisoner of war. During his 42-month ordeal, he not only witnessed the horrendous effects of war, but he also experienced them. From one prison camp of 105,000 prisoners, where 40 to 50 people died every day, to a trip on a cramped prison ship that held 1,100 men with insufficient food and water, no sanitary facilities, and temperatures of 108 degrees. In the course of 39 days, 99 men dies on the ship.

Here is a straightforward and remarkable account of man's courage and ability to survive under the most inhumane conditions.
