Knox has been angry for over 50 years about the American surrender of the Philippines in 1942. As Knox explains, "We became prisoners of the Rising Sun because of the bickering, blundering, and deceit on the part of American leaders. They left us holding the bag, to be sacrificed."  Knox corrects historians such as William Manchester about General Douglas MacArthur's escape from the Philippines. He was an eyewitness to the actual event.  The book details the harsh treatment Knox and other Americans received as POWs of the Japanese, and outlines how difficult it was to cope after his return to the U.S. at the end of the war. Knox concludes by detailing the unfairness of the United States government and other organizations for not assisting former POWs to receive compensation for their slave labor.
