Held prisoner for three horrific years, U.S. Marine Sergeant Major Charles R. Jackson survived the war and penned his memoir, though it went unpublished and forgotten for decades. That is until Bruce Doc Norton, himself a decorated U.S. Marine veteran, and an acclaimed military historian, brought the memoir to light. In a rare look into the heart of combat, Sergeant Major Jackson describes the fierce and ultimately losing battle for Corregidor, the surrender of thousands of Marines, and the death marches that followed. And all this was simply a prelude to the fight for survival that would take place in the POW camps. Jacksons memoir gives voice to the thousands of men who fought and died during WWII, in the Pacific. His character and spirit evoke the very definition of the Marine Corps's motto, Semper Fidelis, Always Faithful.
