Unwavering Valor: A POW's Account of the Bataan Death March Kindle Edition

by William T. Garner (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Is this real? Clarence thought numbly. When will it end? . . . They were jammed with other prisoners into boxcars and transported by rail to the town of Capas. . . .
Although Clarence kept no count, many men died in the boxcars—but there was no room for them to fall.

War wasn’t what Clarence expected . . .

Through the Bataan Death March, through prison camps in the Philippines and Taiwan, through four months aboard a Japanese hell ship, and finally through a forced labor camp at Kosaka, Japan, Bramley never gave up.

This powerful, gripping true story of surviving brutality with optimism and faith is guaranteed to remind you to never lose hope—not in yourself, not in your country, and not in the values for which it stands.

I have always been interested in World War II because I had 5 uncles and my father who were in the war. I have read a lot of accounts and stories about men who fought in Europe but have not read much about the Pacific theater. I loved this book. It gave me an insight into how the POW's were treated. It is amazing so many do survive their ordeal. I loved the poetry at the end of the book. It was the first I had read pertaining to the war in any of the theaters of operation. It was wonderful and reminded me just what our soldiers and sailors go through in any war.

Clarence is my favorite hero, and my uncle. I had heard him refer briefly to some of the events in this book, but Judge Garner got more details out of him than I had heard before. Still, the book is not so graphic as to leave you depressed. It inspires and encourages me to think of how strong and resilient mere mortals can be, and how much we are able to endure, and how adversity shapes and strengthens us. I am glad that a wider audience can now be inspired by Clarie’s experiences.

I arrived in war-torn Manila in 1946, the 4 year old child of new Presbyterian Missionaries. This is an excellent examination of one survivor of the horrible experiences of too many. I grew up with those stories. The author is fair yet truthful. THANKS.

This book is well written about the most amazing man. I knew this man in real life and he is the real deal. He showed great kindness to me as I was growing up. He has been a great friend until the day he died. By reading this book, you will get the sweet opportunity to meet a man that exemplifies everthing that Jesus Christ is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harrowing and Deeply Moving
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2015
Unwavering Valor documents the ability of a quiet, ordinary man to achieve heights of sublime nobility. Captured by the Japanese in 1942, force-marched under savage conditions that saw many of his comrades die along the way, beaten, humiliated, starved to the brink of death, Bramley nevertheless refused to hate. Though most of his captors behaved like brutes, Bramley chose to remember the few who did not, those who showed glimpses of human kindness. And while the sweep of inhumanity and senseless death made life seem pointless to many, Bramley continued to pray throughout his ordeal, trusting in a God he knew was watching. At the end of the war, he was one of the lucky survivors. It was only near the end of his life, when he was in his nineties, that William Garner, a family friend, persuaded Bramley to recall the details of his story and then committed them to paper. We ought to be grateful, for Bramley’s is a story both harrowing and deeply moving.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Quiet Hero
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2015
In our celebrity-obsessed culture, we often forget who the real heroes are. The protagonist of this book,
Clarence Bramley, is a quiet, unassuming and (until now) a totally unheralded hero. Along with many others like him, he answered his country's call, and performed his duty under unspeakably trying circumstances. This book articulately and non-judgmentally traces his steps from the initial battle of the Philippines to the Bataan death marches, to his time in forced labor camps and imprisonment on the "hell ships." This book is stunningly well-written by a non-professional author and a personal friend of Mr. Bramley. Everyone should read this book! Let's ensure that the legacy of commitment left to us by Bramley and his buddies does not die with our generation.
