    Hi -

    We ran across WWII forums while researching our book on the Bataan Death March ("Tears in the Darkness: The Story of the Bataan Death March and its Aftermath" www.tearsinthedarkness.com). We're looking forward to chatting with you and getting any feedback on the book!

    (The first four chapters are posted on our site, and below we've attached some of the sketches of Ben Steele, the soldier at the center of the book, and a photo of the Imperial Army General Staff - there are more contemporaneous photos also on the site).

    Cheers,

    Michael and Elizabeth Norman/sb

    Hello-welcome to the forums! Writing the book must have been very interesting! Speaking of Bataan, my grandfather's cousin, Aaron Carol "Oran" Drake, was a survivor.

    Welcome to the forum, as a fellow Montanan and an alum of MSU-B (when it was EMC) I am well aquainted with Ben Steele and his work. I enjoyed the show down at the museum, and was disappointed to learn afterward that I had missed the free lecture at the MSU-B auditorium.

    Didn't learn until it was over that it was even available! Ticked me off.

    Oh well, I have your book on "my wish list", but as I survive on a fixed income SSD check, my purchases have to be monitored with care. The hints to my kids are getting a bit thick, as I have both a birthday coming up and of course Christmas!

    That said, welcome and I hope your book is the success it deserves.
