About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

Carlos Montoya spent years of torment and deprivation at the hands of his Japanese captors in World War II. In this novel based closely on his true life experiences, you will follow Carlos through his time in the New Mexico National Guard in the late 30's and early 40's. His tortuous survival of the infamous Bataan Death March, his capture and imprisonment in the Philippines, and his trip via Hellship to Japan to finish out the war as a slave laborer. Each day with life and death hanging by a slender thread, Carlos must learn to endure the unendurable in order to survive, but it isn't until after the war that he begins to learn the true cost of survival.

About the Author

J. L. Kunkle was born in Maine in 1964. His father was an officer in the United States Air Force, and he and his two older brothers moved with the family from Nebraska, to Florida, to Indiana, finally ending up in Southern California in 1970.

This military background combined with his own tour in the United States Marine Corps during the Reagan years have given him an insightful perspective about martial values; war, peace, life, and death that he has applied full bore to his telling of the true life's story of Carlos Montoya, a survivor of three years and ten months of imprisonment at the hands of the Japanese in World War II.

He currently resides with his wife Torrie in Murrieta, California.
