We can never repay our debt to men like Mr Lomas.

In excellent condition for it's age. I found the first few chapters rather tedious and put it aside for a while. Later I read it through. The later chapters were riveting. Oh, how those poor men suffered. It is incredible that Mr Lomas survived to tell the story. My father was in the same POW camps and I had no idea how appealing conditions were. No wonder these gallant men suffered for the rest of their lives. Thank you Mr Lomas for sharing it with us.Vollständige Rezension lesen

A good read

This book describes the life of Eric Lomax from his childhood through his war experiences as a Japanese POW working on the Burma Railway, his treatment and interrogation. Then his post war years and his return to Burma, meeting one of his interrogators. The story is easy to read without graphical details of torture or beatings. The torture and beatings are told in a matter of fact way. I found this an easy read of a harrowing subject. I think it compliments the film.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Book

I read this book a while ago, and saw the film. My grandson a student saw the film and wanted the book. So I got one for him. He was moved by the film but the book is a 100% better. A never to be forgotten lesson in brutality and forgiveness. Vollständige Rezension lesen

A rather gruesome but interesting account by a WW2 POW.

A rather gruesome but interesting account by a WW2 POW. I had a one time neighbour who had also been a WW2 POW who had similar problems post war, which made the book very poignant. I saw the film first, which prompted me to read the book.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Graphic exploration of allied POW's in Malaya

Graphic tale of the horror of man's inhumanity to man and the total waste of war. Of interest to those who have a connection to Malaya/Burma/Singapore as I have. Desperately sad to 'feel' the disinterest of authorities in post war 'hidden mental issues'.Vollständige Rezension lesen
