Escape from Davao by John D. Lukacs

Ten American prisoners of war and survivors of the Bataan Death March and two Filipino convicts execute a daring escape from one of Japan's notorious prison camps, the Davao Penal Colony on the island of Mindaneo, on April 4, 1943. Because of wartime censorship, the full story has never been told until now.
