                <text>Subtitle on the title page reads: “A prison camp Quan assembled by the following P.O.W.s and cooked by Capt. Paul Ashton, M.C. with fond memories. To describe a war and its consequences, so that, the curiosity of those born since can know what it is like.” &#13;
&#13;
This book, unlike Dr. Ashton’s earlier Bataan Diary, tells the story of the defense of the Philippines and the prisoner of war experience through the writings of others – many not previously published. “Quan” is the American spelling of the Tagalog word “kwan” which came to mean prison stew containing anything and everything (kwan) under the sun. &#13;
&#13;
This compilation is more meaty, but quite mixed: there are long quotations from the memoir of Major Willard H. Waterous, Medical Corps; army nurses; a veterinarian; sailors and other veterans, written during or shortly after the war and difficult to find. Profusely illustrated with photographs and maps.</text>
