In later 1944 the Allies invaded the Japanese-held Philippines, and soon the end of the Pacific Battle was within reach.

By another day, only 11 men were remaining alive - but their anxious journey to independence had just started. As Good as Dead is one of the greatest escape stories of World Battle II. Endurance, perseverance, and courage in the face of death make this a gripping and motivating saga of success.
