The Bataan Death March

By Liz Bulkley on Sunday, April 8, 2007.

On April 9th, 1942, about 75,000 Filipino and American soldiers were ordered by Japanese guards to march more than 60 miles to a prison camp in the Philippines. As many as ten thousand men died in the process. We're going to talk with Concord Monitor editor Mike Pride about the march and his connection to WWII vet Steve Raymond. Now in his 90's, Raymond survived both the Bataan Death march and 3 1/2 years of hellish captivity. Mike's book about Steve's experiences is Too Dead to Die: A Memoir of Bataan and Beyond.
