Hellships Down: Allied POWs and the Sinking of the Rakuyo Maru and Kachidoki Maru
Michael Sturma
In September 1944, a wolfpack of US submarines attacked the Japanese convoy HI-72 in the South China Sea. Among the ships sunk were two carrying Allied prisoners of war. Men who had already endured Japanese captivity faced a renewed struggle for survival at sea. This book tells the story of the HI-72 convoy through the stories of two survivors.
