Honoring the 80th anniversary of the Bataan Death March The New York Times wrote: the authors of the “Tears in the Darkness” have given us an authoritative history of the Bataan Death March. Ten years in the making, it is based on hundreds of interviews with American, Filipino and Japanese combatants. But it is also a narrative achievement. The book seamlessly blends a wide-angle view with the stories of many individual participants. And at this book’s beating emotional heart is the tale of just one American soldier, a young cowboy and aspiring artist out of Montana named Ben Steele. Elizabeth M.
