one of the best books I have ever read! Such an amazing read, a truly courageous person, who could believe one could survive all he went through.show more
by marja Wood
A great story, extremely readable for a non-fiction book. The characters are very real and the story fascinating. What these guys endured in the Japanese POW camp and the sadistic guards that dealt out the inhuman treatment makes disturbing reading. The strength of the main character and his will to live comes through from page one. Definitely worth a read.show more
