"They may be the only images in existence of American prisoners in Japanese prisoner camps. And they sat unpublished for more than fifty years, apparently ignored by a U.S. government that seemed indifferent to the atrocities the images documented."-- Fort Worth Weekly, "They may be the only images in existence of American prisoners in Japanese prisoner camps.

"The story of each POW is unique, every last one of them a man trapped in the valley of the shadow of death, struggling to stay alive and to stay human. Tens of thousands did not make it. Terence Kirk did, and his book brings that terrible time alive." " Gavan Daws, author of Prisoners of the Japanese: POWs of World War II in the Pacific "World War II has provided some of the most fascinating tales of survival and heroism in history. Few stories match that of Terence Kirk's The Secret Camera. Kirk endured hunger, biting cold, loneliness, separation from family, and despair with an unfailing courage that inspires anyone who reads his noble account." " John Wukovits, author of Pacific Alamo: The Battle for Wake Island On the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the 203 Marines stationed in North China were in the peak of physical condition. They were young, brave men who were willing to die to defend their country. But on that day, they were forced to surrender to the Japanese and spent the rest of the war-all 1,355 days-as POWs. A Marine was 17.5 times more likely to die in a Japanese prison camp than in battle. The Secret Camera is the true story of how one North China Marine struggled for survival. From his capture on Pearl Harbor Day through the bombing of Nagasaki, Corporal Terence S. Kirk spent years as slave labor for the Japanese war machine. Watching himself and his fellow Marines wither from strapping young men to mere skeletons, ravaged by starvation, abuse, and disease, he decided to make a difference: to record the atrocities they all endured. With the help of a Japanese interpreter and several other brave Marines, Kirk managed to build a pinhole camera from scraps of cardboard, take a handful of photos, and then hide them away until the end of the war. These rare images are among the few photos ever taken inside a Japanese POW camp. A record of courage, faith, and ingenuity, his is a story of heroism, unimaginable adversity, and the will to survive. His photos sat unpublished for nearly four decades, ignored by a U.S. government that seemed indifferent to the atrocities the images documented. But Kirk would not let them languish, and this book is his legacy.
