Answer:

“The crash  had left Louie and Phil in the most desperate physical extremity, without food, water, or shelter. But on Kwajalein, the guards sought to deprive them of something that had sustained them even as all else had been lost: dignity. This self-respect and sense of self-worth, the innermost armament of the soul, lies at the heart of humanness.”

Explanation:

This quotation is found in Chapter 18, the first chapter of Part Four. Louie and Phil are being held in cells on Kwajalein, a few days after they had been captured at sea. Their minds and bodies have survived a record 47 days lost at sea, but their suffering is not over. In fact, it has entered a new chapter.  In this new part of the book, their physical difficulties have been compounded. Now Japanese guards begin to abuse them, initiating an intentional process of trying to break Louie and Phil. This process will continue long after Kwajalein, as Louie is moved from one POW camp to the next. At this point it is new to him.
