One Man's War

            One Man’s War     It is the story of one man, a military diver, who survived for more than three years in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, diving for the Japanese to recover $8 million in pesos sunk in 120 feet of water off Corregidor. The story begins in December 1941, aboard the USS Canopus as it leaves Manila Bay for Mariveles Bay, Bataan Peninsula. The author discusses the suffering and unspeakable horrors he and his fellow prisoners endured and the strength of the human spirit.

The book is a fitting tribute to the unique man who was such a powerful inspiration to all of us who had the good fortune to work with him, underwater or topside, during the Sea Lab experiments." —Scott Carpenter, Astronaut
