So Far From Home: Manila's Santo Tomas Internment Camp, 1942-1945 puts you on the scene as United States citizens, Canadians, Britons, and others were "invited" to enjoy the "custody" of the Japanese as civilian prisoners of war. This is the story of almost 4,000 people who formed a community in the Santo Tomas camp, all of whom shared increasingly hungry and miserable lives until their dramatic liberation by forces under General Douglas MacArthur on February 3, 1945.

Review

Current and Very Choice....A noted student of Native Americans, using interviews, correspondence, and previously published memoirs, describes the unique tribe of nearly 4,000 Allied nationals who spent three years within the confides of Santo Tomas University in Manila as prisoners of the Japanese. -- The Cellar Bookshop (Detroit, MI) specialists in books on the Philippines and Eastern Asia

From the Author

I do not usually write on World War II, but this is an especially compelling story. It is also a family story: my wife, Patricia Keiffer, was conceived in the camp, in which her mother, father,sister, and grandmother were held. The story was assembled in part from family records. It is a story that was aching to be written.

Sorry of barge in this way, but I am the publisher and author of this book, and it is not out of print, as the Amazon listing says. For copies please contact me directly at [bjohansen@mail.unomaha.edu]. I have plenty of copies.
