Description

1st Lieutenant Waverly would not be surrendering to the Japanese on April 9, 1942, like tens of thousands of Philippine and Americans did before making the infamous Bataan Death March. Thousands of these Allied soldiers would die over the next five days on this march, but Leu and five other brave souls decided they would rather make a daring attempt to evade the enemy.Leu's chance of survival was lowafter all, he was an officer who spoke and wrote Japanese, and was trained in counter-intelligence. Capture, interrogation and eventual beheading were real risks. But getting home was more important. My Father's War tells the tale of Team Six and is a riveting, fact-based drama of World War II and the soldiers who helped to shape its effect on the future.

The book was written for his family, so that they would know more about that unpopular war for the United States.After twenty years, he retired from the army to enjoy the good life with his family. His life was built around the Army Code of Duty, Honor, Country. His worldly adventures and great imagination have spurred him along on this final trip. He has written four other books in the past few years and is in the process of editing and publishing them. Semper Fi.
