Hunted in turn by American troops, the Philippine Army and police, hostile islanders and successive Japanese search parties, Onoda had skillfully outmaneuvered all his pursuers. Year after year he continued with his efforts to evade capture and stay alive, convinced that World War II was still being fought and waiting for the day when his fellow soldiers would return victorious. This first~person account of those years is filled with all the drama, tension and excitment of epics of danger and the will for survival throughout the ages. In it he relates his early life, his training as an intelligence officer and his final assignment to Lubang Island in the Philippines. There, after American forces take over the island, he retreats into the mountains and his life becomes a constant daily battle against the enemy and against the elements. Onoda's selfless dedication to his cause allows us a rare glimpse of the invincible spirit of the human being, and his ingenuity in adapting to his primitive surroundings is a tribute to man's resourcefulness. Even after the Japanese forces surrender or are killed, courage and conviction allow him and his few comrades to fight on until, after thirty years, he alone returns to civilization, a hero to his people, a soldier who fought and survived the war's longest, loneliest battle.…
