Summary "Drawing directly on the vivid memories of survivors, Daws brings the reader heartbreakingly close to the atrocities of the Burma-Siam railway and the Bataan death march, the horrors of Japanese medical experiments, the struggles of POWs to stay alive and remain human, the permanent scars that the survivors carry, and the incomprehensible refusal of their own governments to support their attempts to get an apology from Japan."--Provided by publisher
