The Will to Survive - Karen Zale
Lulu.com Publishing
198 Pages
A couple of weeks ago, I was handed a book that I was told that I had to read. My friend, Chris, loaned me The Will to Survive by Karen Zale to read, which I was able to do over the course of a quiet afternoon. As with any local history, I was definitely interested in this book.
The Will to Survive is the story of a man who went off to war during World War II and ended up surviving some of the worst that man can do to itself. Written by his daughter, Karen, we learn the trials and tribulations of John Zale as he suffered through the ignominy of being a prisoner of war with the Japanese.
