Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. As one of the last survivors of my battalion of the Gordon Highlanders, the majority of whom were either killed or captured by the Japanese Imperial Army in Singapore, I know that I am a lucky man. I was lucky to survive capture in Singapore and to come out of the jungle alive after 750 days as a slave on the "Death Railway" and the bridge over the river Kwai. Surviving my ordeal in the hell ship "Kachidoki Maru" and, after we were torpedoed, five days adrift alone in the South China Sea, perhaps stretched my luck. So too my close shave with the atomic bomb, when I was struck by the blast of the A-bomb dropped on Nagasaki. My story may be remarkable but for over 60 years I have remained silent about my sufferings at the hands of the Japanese. Now I am breaking my silence to bear witness to the systematic torture and murder of tens of thousands of allied prisoners. Millions of Asians died at the hands of the Japanese from 1931 to 1945. Like the allied prisoners, the British, Americans, Australians, Dutch and Canadians, they were starved and beaten, tortured and massacred in the most sadistic fashion. My time as a prisoner of the Japanese helped shape and determine my path in life just as much as my childhood did. I hope that this book will stand as an indictment of the criminal regime that ran Japan during the war years and the failure of successive Japanese governments to face up to their crimes.
