U.S. Navy lieutenant Hugh Barr Miller lands on a Japanese occupied island after his ship was sunk at the Solomon Islands during World War II. For a solid month, he wages a one-man guerrilla war against the Japanese.

Described as "'Lone Survivor' meets 'Hell in the Pacific,'" the book tells the true story of U.S. Naval Lieutenant Hugh Barr Miller, a prewar football star at the University of Alabama, who went into the water as his destroyer the USS Strong was torpedoed in the Solomon Islands in 1943 and washed up desperately injured on a small Japanese-occupied island.—variety
