520    "Werner Herzog, one of the most revered filmmakers of all 
       time, in his first book in many years, tells the story of 
       Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier who continued to defend a 
       small island in the Philippines for twenty-nine years 
       after the end of World War Two In 1997, Werner Herzog was 
       in Tokyo to direct an opera. His hosts there asked, whom 
       would you like to meet? He replied instantly: Hiroo Onoda.
       Onoda was a former solider famous for having quixotically 
       defended an island in the Philippines for decades after 
       World War II, unaware the war was over. At their meeting, 
       Herzog and Onoda spoke for hours, and together began to 
       unravel Onoda's incredible story. At the end of 1944, on 
       Lubang Island in the Philippines, with Japanese troops 
       about to withdraw, Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda was given orders
       by his superior officer: Hold the island until the 
       Imperial army's return. Defend the territory with guerilla
       tactics at all costs. There is only one rule: you are 
       forbidden to die by your own hand. In the event of capture,
       give the enemy all the misleading information you can. 
       Onoda dutifully retreated into the jungle, and so began 
       his long campaign. Soon weeks turned into months, months 
       into years, and years into decades. And all the while 
       Onoda continued to follow his orders, surviving by any 
       means necessary, at first with other soldiers, and then, 
       finally, all alone in the jungle, like a phantom, becoming
       one with the natural world. Until eventually time itself 
       seemed to melt away. In The Twilight World, Herzog 
       immortalizes Onoda's years of absurd yet epic struggle, 
       recounting his lonely mission in an inimitable, hypnotic 
       style-part documentary, part poem, and part dream-that 
       will be instantly recognizable to fans of his films. The 
       result is something like a modern-day Robinson Crusoe: 
       nothing less than a glowing, dancing meditation on the 
       purpose and meaning we give our lives"--|cProvided by
