Synopses & Reviews
The stirring true story of how Naval Corpsman and POW Estel Myers survived on the brutal Japanese hell ships during the waning months of WWII, Belly of the Beast is a personal history of his horrendous journey to freedom-and a shocking chronicle of a relatively unknown chapter of WWII. Heroic, horrific, and, ultimately, inspiring, it is a tribute to the power of faith, the strength of the soul, and the triumph of the human spirit.
