After surviving the brutal Bataan Death March in spring 1942, Louisiana native John Henry Poncio spent the remainder of World War II as a Japanese prisoner. In Girocho, he relates his experiences as a POW with honesty, vividly describing the harsh conditions he and his comrades endured, as well as the sometimes funny clashes with Japanese culture.
