Synopsis

Thompson pens a gripping, personal account of how he, as a teenage soldier from rural Texas, became a member of the 2nd Battalion, 131st Field Artillery--the "Lost Battalion"--and became one of the thousands of allied prisoners forced to build the bridge over the River Kwai during World War II. Original.
