SURVIVAL IN SINGAPORE is a gripping account of an untold story of Japanese-occupied Singapore, and a testament of courage, sacrifice and the resilience of the human spirit.'Wonderfully evocative writing, of a great tale' - Peter FitzSimons'A story of extraordinary heroism and absolute horro…r' - Paul HamOn a pitch-black night in September 1943, a daring Australian commando unit launches a covert raid on Singapore Harbour, sinking and damaging numerous Japanese ships. Operation Jaywick - an epic mission that passed into Australia's national legend - sets in motion a brutal crackdown by Japan's dreaded military police, the Kempei Tai.Tasked with finding the culprits of the attack, Major Sumida Haruzo intensifies his hunt for the saboteurs, weaving a deadly web that ensnares dozens of British internees in Changi Jail and countless Chinese Singaporeans. Among those swept up in the aftermath are Elizabeth Choy, a courageous schoolteacher who risks her life to smuggle aid into Changi Prison, and Robert Heatlie Scott, a senior diplomat and propagandist who miraculously survived the sinking of a ship and two days drifting on a dinghy in the open sea only to be recaptured by the Japanese.Incarcerated in hellish conditions where the lines between fact and fiction blur, and where victims are forced to turn on each other to survive, Elizabeth and Robert must confront starvation, disease and brutal torture. The fate of countless innocent lives hinges on their will to resist unimaginable agonies, maintain their tenuous grasp on reality and hold to the truth even if it costs them their lives. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Author: Tom Trumble Format: Pap…erback Number of Pages: 324 Relationship-challenged, with the resume of a vagrant, Tom Trumble is at one of life's crossroads. So he takes up an offer to go on a seriously long walk - the ancient Christian pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, the domain of the devout. Despite his good intentions, Tom's route takes him into every bar along the way while crossing paths with the loopy and the wise, the pious and the distinctly ungodly. He finds himself contending with song-happy evangelists, unlikely scholars and enlightened globetrotters, and randy backpackers out to bed every pilgrim they meet. Not to mention his own very restless demons, some of which lead him to confront troubles he thought he'd left at home. Unholy Pilgrims is an irreverent and engaging take on figuring out what the hell to do with your life. Paperback.

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Tom Trumble… Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 344 A World War II story of courage, cruelty, friendship and the extraordinary things ordinary men must do to survive. February 1942. The Japanese invasion of Timor has begun and attempts to evacuate a group of 29 Australian airmen, charged with keeping an airfield operational until the last moment, are thwarted. Under the leadership of Bryan Rofe, a 24-year-old meteorological officer, the airmen make for remote jungle along the northwest coast. All attempts to rescue the group fail. Malaria-ravaged and starving, these men are taken to the limits of their endurance for 58 days. When a 300-strong Japanese patrol is sent to hunt them down all hope seems lost, until they receive a strange signal from sea - an American submarine has been dispatched to their position. With the Japanese closing in, only courage will keep them alive. Using diaries of the airmen and wartime records, Rofe's grandson Tom Trumble brings to life one of the greatest stories of survival and escape of the Second World War. From the young man who stepped up to bring his men home and the Japanese soldier sent to hunt down the Australians, to the American submarine captain and the Timorese fisherman who saved them, this is an insight into the extraordinary things that happen to ordinary men in war. 'Fascinating . . . Intimate passages exploring passion, separation and loneliness bring the protagonists to life in a way rarely achieved in narratives dealing with events now 70 years in the past . . . Trumble, a master of his material, builds the suspense without running aground on the rocky shallows of melodrama. His characters appear true to life and the events he describes are related with what appears to be unfailing historical accuracy. This is one of the few recent works of military history that can be read as a thriller. There should be more like it.'Canberra Times 'Gripping from the get-go . . . Vivid images inflame the pages and the book smoulders with intensity . . . Driven by love and respect for the airmen , Tom Trumble recounts their journey into hell with journalistic flair, empathy and restraint . . . This book resonates.' Sunday Tasmanian 'A gripping tale . . . which has you glued to the page'. Steven Carroll, Sydney Morning Herald 'A ripping yarn of courage against the odds, great resourcefulness and a daring night rescue by submarine.' Courier-Mail 'Trumble gives a gripping account of one of those many little-known stories worthy of a big-budget Australian film.' Daily Telegraph. Secondhand, Paperback.
