WWII Survival: Love All Men, Have Lunch with a Few Published by Outskirts Press
James B. Hylton brings to life WWII in the South Pacific as seen through the sharp, compassionate eye of his father, an inspirational, old fashioned Southern gentleman whose character was tested as a Japanese POW in ways few of us today can imagine.
Charleston, SC, September 01, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Veteran author James B. Hylton announced today the release of Love All Men, Have Lunch with a Few, The Boys of Bunny’s Restaurant: My Father’s Story as a Japanese POW, published by Outskirts Press. Framed within a context that illustrates the potential of the human spirit, Hylton’s biography of his father’s life and experiences as a slave to and a sport for his Japanese captors during WWII shows that all of us are always just one small adjustment away from making our lives work by understanding the gifts that we are here to share.
Raised for the most part as an orphan, Hylton’s father joined the U.S. Navy to find a home. Despite the fact that the war was on, he saw the Navy as an opportunity to achieve a new stability in his life. Little did he know he was about to endure three and a half years of extreme torture, cruelty and enforced slavery as a Japanese prisoner of war. He arrived in the South Pacific, but he was captured after the fall of Bataan and Corregidor, survived the death march, prison camps and was transported on the infamous “Hell Ships” to Sendai, Japan where he worked in prison camps and as forced labor in the lead and zinc mines.
The atrocity and cruelty he both saw and experienced would have embittered or destroyed most men, but Hylton’s father worked hard to overcome his feelings of grief for his friends and of hate for his captors. With a remarkable will to survive, he was able to embrace the most unspeakable suffering with the knowledge that there would be something in it to teach him and to benefit him later in life.
Love All Men, Have Lunch with a Few shows through the graphic example of this humble, loving and always evolving man that even when life is the bleakest, we still have within ourselves a deep well of wisdom, compassion and clarity that we can draw from to help us survive and to see the dawn of greater days and the good that fills the world.
Sometimes World War II is nothing more than an interesting history. Hylton’s new biography turns it into a personal and spiritual experience. The book is written in a familiar and friendly narrative voice that many will embrace and benefit from reading, and it does a wonderful job of also analyzing life in general. It will touch your heart, make you smile, make you shed a tear, and definitely make you think. The story will stay with you long after the last page has been turned.
