Add to basketCondition: As New in As New DJ, appears unread. This is the moving story of a young man who found himself along with thousands of his comrades in the nightmare of Japanese captivity. Unlike so many (it is said that one Commonwealth POW died for every sleeper laid) Bill lived to tell the tale. Indeed it is remarkable that this story has not been told before, so graphic are Bill's memories of the hardships and horrors. The book goes on to describe how the experiences of those years have affected his life since. Co-authored by Bill Reed and Mitch Peeke, it is the simply riveting autobiographical story of Bill Reed's service in the British Army during World War II, including his capture by the Japanese who put him and his fellow POWs to work as a slave laborer in southeast Asia. Surviving under lethally abusive conditions (including being tortured by his captors), Lost Souls Of The River Kwai tells of Reed's enforced participation on the "Railway of Death" and offers readers a vivid description of how just how traumatically the experience effected him for the rest of his life. A candid memoir of remarkable content for readers seeking documentation of the terrors of being a POW in World War II subject to the terrors of the cruelly merciless Japanese. Bibliography note: Includes bibliographical references and index.
