Description:
1943 review: ONE can no more criticize this book of Gwen Dew's than one can criticize the color of blood poured out on a battlefield. Here is life poured out. Here is horror, good sportsmanship, bestiality, tenderness, treachery and nobility -- here, in a word, is war.
Beginning in 1936 Gwen traveled the world, mostly the orient, and wrote weekly articles about her experiences for The Detroit News which were read by thousands of persons. Gwen Dew was caught in Hong Kong at the start of World War II and spent several months in a concentration camp. She was released in mid-1942 as part of a prisoner exchange and subsequently wrote a series of thrilling eye-witness accounts of her experience which were carried in newspapers across the country. Her book "Prisoner of the Japs" was published in 1943 by Alfred Knopf publishers of New York, and received excellent reviews by the New York Times. It was dramatized on NBC radio as part of its anthology series "Words at War". Gwen toured the United States during the rest of the war as a War Bond rally speaker for the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (predecessor of the CIA), and her speeches were credited with raising more than $2 million in war bonds. She was the first female foreign correspondent permitted into Japan following the War.
