Courage on Bataan and Beyond

"Courage on Bataan and Beyond" is a comprehensive story about Abel F. Ortega's life during the Bataan Death March and Japanese imprisonment written by his son. Abel will take the reader with him from his childhood days when he would sit in a rocking chair and dream about the Far East to defending the Bataan Peninsula in a last ditch effort to keep the Japanese from taking the Philippines. Abel narrates how his family's prayers and his faith in God helped him to survive the infamous Bataan Death March, three-and-a-half years as a POW and two Hell Ship Voyages. This book will evoke both laughter and tears as one follows Abel from captivity to liberation. In his three-and-a-half years as a POW, he endured near starvation, hard labor, torture and the indescribable and inhumane cruelty from his captors before being set free August 15th, 1945. There were very few POW's who survived the Japanese brutality of Bataan and their following captivity, and of these, not many are still with us. Today at 85, Abel feels his story needs to be told so that the brave soldiers of Bataan will not be forgotten once again.

Amazing Story & Account of Bataan March

I have to say, this book is just amazing. Abel Ortega Jr. did a fantastic job and has obviously spent much time and dedication writing this book. Abel Ortega Sr. is one of the last surviving POW's and probably has the best account of the events ever recorded. There are such amazing stories and many testimonies of how God protected him through all the unbearable circumstances. There are actual copies of documents and photos...
