Opis

From the realization of being in Singapore prior to its capitulation when he felt that they were being "sacrificed to placate public opinion," to the overwhelming joy of being able to write "It's over, It's over, It's over!!" 3 years later, this diary candidly describes the emotional challenges faced to keep the will to live while losing friends and missing the family at home. This amazing account describes the author's determination to help maintain morale. His sense of humor, decency, and consideration for others around him makes this a fascinating insight into the day-to-day life of a man determined to get through his ordeal at all costs and to ensure that those around him did the same. Reproductions of sketches, cartoons, and Christmas cards drawn by fellow POWs at the time, including cartoonists Searle and Sprod, supported by personal stories and anecdotes, highlight the importance given to being able to appreciate the "lighter" moments in one of the darkest periods of WWII.
