A Cool Head in Hell is a compelling historical narrative based on Harry Silmans diaries, comprising one of the most comprehensive accounts by a POW under the Japanese to survive WWII.

In 1942, his division was assigned to assist in the defence of Singapore, but arrived just before the island fell to Japan. Captain Silman spent the rest of the war in the notorious Changi POW camp as well as in the northernmost camps of the notorious Burma Railway, where he tended to Allied forced-labourers.
