Description

Ever wondered about the untold stories of bravery and resilience during World War II? Penned by esteemed author and documentary maker John Willis, this poignant narrative unveils the harrowing experiences of British and Australian POWs in Japan during World War II. It's a tale of resilience, camaraderie, and the indomitable human spirit under the shadow of the devastating atomic bombing of Nagasaki. Will the POWs endure the brutalities of war and survive the horrors of the atomic bombing? Can they keep their spirits high amidst the darkness and despair? For our protagonists, it's a battle for survival, where the odds are stacked against them. Their will to live determines their fate in this harsh and unforgiving world of war. Reading this book is an emotional roller coaster, taking you through the depths of despair and the heights of hope, leaving you profoundly moved by the resilience of the human spirit. John Willis, a celebrated British television executive and award-winning documentary maker, brings his expertise to the fore in this deeply researched and compelling narrative.
