We're thrilled to have Michael P. Spradlin join us to share more about his latest novel, PRISONER OF WAR.
I’ve written two previous novels with a World War II setting, Into the Killing Seas and The Enemy Above. I came across the story of America’s youngest POW during research for those books. The story was amazing. This young man snuck into the service at age 15 and was stationed in the Philippines. His true age was uncovered and he was set to be sent home the day the Japanese Imperial forces invaded the islands. He spent his teenage years enduring some of the most unimaginable horrors you can imagine. It’s remarkable to me how any of these men could endure and survive the torture they experienced. And to do it at an age when most of us would be freshmen in High School? It’s a real testament to the human spirit and amidst all of this many of them still found ways to form ‘family’ units. To help and support each other. It proves that adage that many times, war will show the best and the worst of us.
