A review by brandongryder
The Twilight World by Werner Herzog

4.0

Almost a 5 star read. After watching "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" by Werner Herzog, I decided to pick this one up. It is a fascinating story about Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier in WWII that was told in 1944 to stay behind the retreating Japanese army and defend the small island of Lubang in the Philippines. Onoda did as he was commanded to do and did not surrender until 1974. It is an incredible story told perfectly by Herzog.
