Description: The Hotel Tacloban by Douglas Valentine A "very dramatic [and] compelling" World War II story of murder, mutiny, and a military cover-up, from the author of The Phoenix Program (The New York Times).

The events that followed make up this "well-told, chilling" story of betrayal and brutality—a powerful tale of a son uncovering the traumatic events that shaped the rest of his fathers life (Los Angeles Times Book Review). "Not just a searing picture of life in a terrible POW camp, it is also a significant historical document about a place that the U.S. military says never existed." —Publishers Weekly FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Douglas Valentine is the author of four books of historical nonfiction: The Hotel Tacloban, The Phoenix Program: Americas Use of Terror in Vietnam, The Strength of the Wolf: The Secret History of Americas War on Drugs, and The Strength of the Pack: The Personalities, Politics and Espionage Intrigues that Shaped the DEA.
