The story of POW John Fletcher-Cooke's horrifying treatment at the hands of the Japanese. Based on a diary he kept throughout his captivity, this story, told without bitterness, reveals a man who refused to give way to despair. He also recounts how he revisited Japan and met his former captors.

About the Author

Sir John Fletcher-Cooke was Senior Exhibitioner and a Kitchener Scholar at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, and graduated with First Class Honours in 1932. After three years as as Assistant Principal in the Colonial Office, he applied to be transferred overseas and was posted to Malaya. As described in this book, he was driven out of his District by the invading Japanese in 1941 and, having joined the R.A.F. in Singapore, was captured in Java.
