Jim's Journey tells the story of carpenter Jim Allen and those events in his life that prepared him to endure and survive 1,354 days of imprisonment after his capture by the Imperial Japanese Navy in December 1941. Allen became one of the many "guests" of Emperor Hirohito on 23 December 1941, after helping the Battery E Marines of the Wake Island garrison hold off the Japanese Navy for sixteen tense and embattled days. Held in Japanese POW camps in China, Korea, and Japan, he survived to see the brutal war and his personal nightmare finally end, only to come home one of the many forgotten civilian heroes suffering from a variety of hidden diseases. It would be a long thirty-seven years before the United States government would officially recognize Jim Allen and other eligible civilian POWs for their monumental efforts in the defense of Wake Island. Jim's Journey is a story of an ordinary American doing extraordinary things in defense of his country.

Jim's Journey
During reading this book I began to realize and really understand that the rest of the war books I have read do not NEARLY compare to the detail and sad understanding of what this book gives to you. You hear the stories of what a vet has gone through. He tells the story with such detail that you could almost pictures what he is going through. But you can't. Nobody can unless you are in his spot. Other books really do not show this side of the story. It is a book that you can't put down no matter how much you want to during a certain time. You don't want to know what happens at the same time you do. It is definitely a book that is worth reading if you find interest in a first hand source of war experiences.
