Prisoners of The Japanese

Gavan Daws combined ten years of documentary research and hundreds of interviews with surrviving POWs to write this explosive first-and-only account of the experiences of the Allied POWs of World War II. The Japanese Army took over 140000 Allied prisoners and one in four died the hands of their captors. Here Daws reveals the survivors'' haunting experiences from the atrocities perpetrated during the Bataan Death March and the building of the Burma-Siam railroad to descriptions of disease torture and execution.
