Gavan Daws combined ten years of documentary research and hundreds of interviews with surrviving POWs to write this explosive, first-and-only account of the experiences of the Allied POWs of World War II. The Japanese Army took over 140,000 Allied prisoners, and one in four died the hands of their captors. Here Daws reveals the survivors' haunting experiences, from the atrocities perpetrated during the Bataan Death March and the building of the Burma-Siam railroad to descriptions of disease, torture, and execution. 110215 ( Please note: Over standard weight.

Scribe Publications. Melbourne. First published in Australia 2004. First Australian Edition Reprint - ISBN-1-920769-12-9;. pages 462 pages + index; b/w photos; pictorial cardcover, protected; mint condition new. ISBN-1-920769-12-9 The author combines ten years of documentary research and hundreds of interviews with POWs on three continents to write the experience of allied POWs in the Pacific, Australian, British, American and Dutch, 140,000 military prisoners, one in four died at the hands of their captors. Drawing directly on the vivid memories of survivors, Daws brings the reader heartbreakingly close to the atrocities of the Burma-Siam railway and the Bataan death march, the horrors of Japanese medical experiments, the struggles of POWs to stay alive and remain human, the permanent scars that the survivors carry, and the incomprehensible refusal of their own governments to support their attempts to get an apology from Japan.
