520 1 $a"William H. McDougall, Jr. was a newspaperman in Salt Lake City. In 1939, he quit his job and went to work for the Japan Times, an English-language newspaper in Tokyo, and later for the United Press, for which he covered the Japanese occupation of Shanghai and the fall of the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). When the ship on which he had escaped from Java was sunk, he managed to reach the island of Sumatra, where he was captured and imprisoned by the Japanese until 1945." "McDougall's letters to his family offer a rare and detailed look at daily life in Tokyo and in Japanese-occupied Shanghai during the months leading up to the Pearl Harbor attack. During his imprisonment in Sumatra, he kept a daily journal of his experiences as a POW. Published here for the first time are the journals he retrieved at the end of World War II."--BOOK JACKET.
