Inspired by true stories, The Long March Home is a gripping coming-of-age tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the power of unrelenting hope from two New York Times bestselling authors

Jimmy Propfield joined the army for two reasons: to get out of Mobile, Alabama, with his best friends Hank and Billy and to forget his high school sweetheart, Claire.

Life in the Philippines seems like paradise—until the morning of December 8, 1941, when news comes from Manila: the Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor. Within hours, the teenage friends are plunged into war as Japanese warplanes attack Luzon, beginning a battle for control of the Pacific Theater that will culminate with a last stand on the Bataan Peninsula and end with the largest surrender of American troops in history.

What follows will become known as one of the worst atrocities in modern warfare: the Bataan Death March. With no hope of rescue, the three friends vow to make it back home together. But the ordeal is only the beginning of their nearly four-year fight to survive.

Inspired by true stories, The Long March Home is a gripping coming-of-age tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the power of unrelenting hope.

I will return to submit a review as I have just finished this book and I am flooded with emotions.

Great story

I was REALLY moved by this book. I seldom read books after listening to them, but I will read this one.

The research was impeccable, but the crisp, tight prose was even better, and I’ll remember the priests words for a long time.

An altogether great achievement that has already spurred me to buy two more of Lee’s novels.

Subtle but powerful themes

I fully expect The Long March Home to be long-remembered for decades to come. Friends become brothers and take you to hell and back in a story that will bring you tears and joy and a brilliant picture of the unquenchable will to live and to love. Powerful! Unforgettable!
Too much to condense into a movie, but I could imagine a binge-worthy series.

I’m undone! Beyond Worthy Read!

Loved the Depth of characters, how their stories developed. The patriotism and bravery of these characters are what I imagined all US soldiers had during this time.

Loved it
