Travelling 20,000 miles, inspiring love and despair in equal measure, and changing hands multiple times, Lt Minter Dial's Annapolis ring changed the lives of many?not just those who gazed upon its bright, blue stone. The spellbinding account of one man's obsession with a family secret?and the product of decades of research and inquiries?The Last Ring Home details Minter Dial's pursuit of the Naval Academy ring belonging to his namesake, his late grandfather Lt. Minter Dial, a celebrated war hero whose mysterious, horrific death caused those who loved him most to bury his memory forever. A prisoner of Japanese work camps in the Philippines, Minter discov- ered the cruelest meaning of the Bushido Principle. Moments before he was killed in the most brutal of conditions, Minter gave his treasured ring to a friend. In the ensuing chaos, it disappeared. Armed with a passion for history and a determination to uncover the truth of his grandfather's story, Dial's epic quest for the lost ring transports him to prisoner of war memorials and ex-POW conventions in the Philippines and the US, numerous military and press archives, and the homes of those affected by the war across the world. Sweeping as far back as the American Civil War, The Last Ring Home combines historical events with rigorous research and startling anecdotes?gained from more than 100 interviews with experts, widows, survivors, and descendants of the Greatest Generation?to tell the powerful story of American prisoners of war in the Pacific.
