(2) YA In 1941, seventeen-year-old Zenji Watanabe is recruited by the U.S. Army as a special undercover intelligence agent working in Manila. He's caught and thrown in a POW camp. When he eventually escapes, he gets lost in the jungle for months. Inspired by the real-life story of Richard Sakakida's service during World War II, it's a fascinating tale of espionage, torture, escape, and survival.
