A Grueling Survival Story About a WWII Hero's Fight for Freedom
On January 11, 1945, Major Donald J. Humphrey had his B-29 Superfortress directed at Singapore Island. After navigating the 1900-mile trip from India through dangerous weather, they had just successfully bombed their target. And that's when Japanese Zeroes shot off the wing and sent the mighty aircraft death-spiraling into the Malayan jungle.
Jumping to safety, Humphrey and a few of his remaining crewmates found themselves lost in the middle of Japanese occupied territory. Enduring vicious crocodiles, deadly snakes, and crippling malaria, the Americans battled just to stay alive. And though they made contact with Malayan resistance fighters, they could never be sure their benefactors weren't pulling them even deeper into danger...
In this harrowing true account, Major Humphrey's son shares the extraordinary story of his father's grueling ordeal. Told in the first person, this highly personal narrative puts you inside the mind of a man fighting for his country while struggling to survive.
Eight Miraculous Months in the Malayan Jungle is a gripping memoir about overcoming unexpected peril. If you like World War II heroes, incredible stories of courage, and inspirational reads, then you'll love Donald "DJ" Humphrey II's captivating biography of his father.

Описание:
At great risk to their own lives and the lives of their ten children, Bernard and Dora Prinzen sheltered seven downed Allied airmen in German-occupied Holland during the last tumultuous months of World War II. Fifty years later, Doris Mayberry, the wife of one of the airmen, 2nd Lieutenant Owen L. Mayberry, USAAF, wrote down the story of the courageous Prinzen family and of the seven airmen and produced the initial manuscript of Seven On A Mat.
Under dire circumstances after the end of the war, the Prinzens emigrated from their war-ravaged country to the tranquil farming community of Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. They brought with them their remarkable wartime experience of working closely with the Dutch Underground to keep the Allied airmen out of the hands of the Nazis.
In 2020, on the eve of the 75th anniversary of Victory-in-Europe Day (VE Day), the youngest of the Prinzen children, Benny, who at age four had been an active participant in the wartime events described in Seven On A Mat, passed along a copy of Doris Mayberry's manuscript to the Prince Edward Historical Society.
To commemorate the VE Day anniversary, the Prince Edward Historical Society is proud to publish this remarkable account of faith, luck and courage during World War II.

Jeff Struecker, a "Black Hawk Down" hero, the Army's Top Ranger, now an Army Chaplain, relates his own tales from the frontlines of every U.S. initiative since Panama, and tells how God taught him faith from the front in fear-soaked times. As readers go on-mission with Struecker through his harrowing tales, they will learn how to face their own fears with faith in a mighty God. Just as he told one of his charges in Mogadishu: "The difference between being a coward and a hero is not whether you're scared, it's what you do while you're scared."
