About this title

Synopsis

A compelling account of the wartime experiences of a former prisoner of the Japanese: the humiliating defeat at Singapore, forced labour on the Saigon docks, and the horrors of life on the Burma Railway. He had rarely talked about this period of his life until persuaded to do so by his son to whom he gave the series of taped interviews which form the basis of this book. Written by his son, the book also tells of the astonishing twist of fate that saved all the surviving POWs from mass extermination at the end of the war.
