The pages talk about things like the weather, the food he found for a day, how he felt, and occasionally the events which struck the soldier, people he met or who helped him, significant events and occasional thoughts. They provided the author with mostly mundane details, but also with enough information to form the kernel of a story. Schaefer supplemented that material with his own research in the Philippines, pursuing the names in Lloyd's diary to find interviews and more information. Schaefer used human sources to build the stones and add the details Lloyd's diary missed. That, combined with Schaefer's other research, provides the narrative with the minutia which make a story believable and interesting. And the writing keeps the readers' attention, working like a story to foster suspense and interest. With its focus on characters and the place they inhabit, the book avoids the dryness or sterility whioh can often afflict a work bent on objectivity.

Of course, some of you are more interested in playing spring base- these things, the work is an easy read, the type of material that one can pick up for an hour at a time without fear of turning to stone from boredom. Overall, however, the "Bataan Diary," provides material enough to keep a reader absorbed in the details of Lloyd s life and the things which are happening to him, or which might. Those things make pages fly by, right up to Feb. 4, 1945. "Bataan Diary," should provide good reading for any World War II history buff and perhaps even fans of military novels. A solid effort from a first time author and historian Schaefer, if one is interested in the material and the subject matter, "Bataan Diary" should be a pleasing read. April 9, from 3-5 p.m., Chris Schaefer will read from "Balaati Dian:; An American Family in ftbrld War 11 J94 1-1945."at the Park City Library in meeting room 109. There will also be a discussion with the author- For questions about the event, please contact Teresa Ferguson at tferguson@parkcity.org or call 615-5602.
