West Point, Bataan, and Beyond is a narrative of the life and experiences of Santiago Guevara, a Filipino West Point Cadet and friend of MacArthur who fought on Bataan, was bayoneted on the Death March, suffered the disease and deprivation of Camp O'Donnell POW camp, and underwent three years of Japanese occupation in Manila. The book includes details of all twenty-seven Filipino cadets (1914-1941), including the six ultimately executed by the Japanese Kempetai before liberation, and transcripts of Santiago's letters from the POW Camp; a first-person snapshot of the conditions he and his men endured.
