LTC. William D. Miner

WILLIAM D. MINER is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and the author of Surviving Hell: Surrender on Cebu.

Miner holds a B.A. and ROTC second lieutenant commission from Knox College and a Ph.D. in history from Indiana University. He served as professor of history, assistant dean of students, and director of Veterans Services at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois.

When not writing, Miner draws on his wartime experience as a prisoner of war for 39 months following the surrender of his unit to Japanese forces on the island of Cebu during World War II. Much of his work reflects his service as commander of a Philippine Army camp and as force communication officer on the staff of General B. G. Chynoweth in the Philippines in 1941.
