Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-04 00:00:00 Patrick Hogan I really enjoyed the history portion of this book BUT the lawyer (who wrote it) is pretty insufferable. I didn't think knowing what make of car he drove, what hotels he stayed in, or what incredible cases he'd won really pertained to the book. I think he tried to imply to the readers that he was a changed man because of his association with the WWII vets. I'm not convinced. The history is important and it's a story that needs to be told but I would suggest other books - Ghost Soldiers, Belly of the Beast, or anything that he quotes as sources.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-06-14 00:00:00 Howard Jenkins This book is quite intriguing--I can't put it down! It chronicles the court case led by P.I. attorney Jim Parkinson and his interactions with the WWII vets who were Prisoners of War in Japan. I was privileged to meet one of the vets, Harold Poole, whom my husband interviewed for the newspaper. Quite an amazing story and an even more amazing person!
