Description

This is the moving story of a young man who found himself, along with thousands of his comrades, in the nightmare of Japanese captivity. Before long he was a slave labourer on the notorious Burma Railway, living under the most atrocious conditions and subject to barbarous treatment by his captors. Unlike so many (it is said that one Commonwealth POW died for every sleeper laid) Bill Reed somehow managed to survive to tell the tale. Along with his graphic memories of the horrors and hardships of the Railway of Death, Bill also describes how his experiences have affected his life since.
