Three Year Picnic: An American Woman's Life Inside Japanese Prison Camps in the Philippines During WWII
Used Book in Good Condition
A riveting story, THREE YEAR PICNIC shares crisp details of Evelyn Whitfield's life inside civilian camps during her three-year World War II imprisonment by the Japanese occupation of the Philippians. Evelyn wrote her story over fifty years ago, as part of her healing process--then put her manuscript in a drawer. Half a century later, her words have more impact than her words have more impact than ever, offering hope and perspective to war-torn families everywhere. Newly discovered scrapbooks from her North American family (who never gave up hope of her rescue) reveal poignant letters illustrating their valiant effort to communicate, and newspaper clippings reflecting the mood of the era.
