My Hitch in Hell

Description:

Tenney's searing wartime experiences and a subsequent close friendship with a Japanese exchange student bring a unique perspective to the current debates over Japan's wartime culpability, the morality of the atomic bombings, and relations today between Japanese and Americans. My Hitch in Hell is a first-person account of one of the twentieth century's great tragedies and a prisoner survival epic that contains inspiring lessons for everyone.
