Detailing an ongoing fight for justice, The Inheritance of War follows the little-known tale of thousands WW II soldiers who were held as prisoners of war in the Philippines after one of the worst military defeats in United States history. The emotional story of survival and hardship describes nearly-forgotten events like the march of death across the Bataan Peninsula , the “hell ships” that carried prisoners of war to Japan, and harrowing stories of starvation, poor treatment, and harsh conditions experienced when the men were forced to work as slave laborers.
