Hugh B. Miller

Hugh Barr Miller, Jr. (January 10, 1910 – June 21, 1978) was a U.S. Naval officer in the Pacific Theater during World War II, who after being shipwrecked and left for dead behind enemy lines, single-handedly fought the Japanese for weeks until his rescue.

His son, Landon C. G. Miller, wrote an authorized biography under the title Lt. Hugh Barr Miller, Jr.: The US Navy's One Man Army.

There are a large number of other books, comic books, and sections of books that include Miller's heroic saga, including the authoritative 100 Best True Stories of World War II, hardcover. In 2016, a book published by Steven Harding on the incident was set to be adapted to film.
