No Surrender, A Soldier's Story, Bataan Death March by Jim Ganyon

In this compelling memoir, US veteran Jim Ganyon shares the powerful story of his father, Robert Lee Morris, a survivor of the Bataan Death March. In 1942, Morris served with the US Army on the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines. After enduring intense combat, he was captured, survived the grueling Death March, and was forced to labor in Japanese nickel mines until the end of the war.

Jim Ganyon not only honors his father’s legacy but also pays tribute to all veterans, discussing their sacrifices and the history of WWII. He delves into his father’s post-war struggles with post-traumatic stress, which tragically led to his suicide in 1960. Through this heartfelt narrative, Ganyon sheds light on the ongoing issue of veteran suicide and emphasizes the importance of honoring and supporting those who serve.
