ISBN10: 0349119376, ISBN13: 9780349119373, [publisher: Little, Brown Book Group, London] Softcover Paperback. Many of the prisoners held by the Japanese during the WWII were so scarred by their experiences that they could not discuss them even with their families. They believed that their brutal treatment was, literally, incomprehensible. But some prisoners were determined that posterity should know how they were starved and beaten, marched almost to death or transported on hellships , used as slave labour - most notoriously on the Burma-Thailand railway - and how thousands died from tropical diseases. They risked torture or execution to draw and write diaries that they hid wherever they could, sometimes burying them in the graves of lost comrades. The diaries tell of inhumanity and degradation, but there are also inspirational stories of courage, comradeship and compassion. When men have unwillingly plumbed the depths of human misery, said one prisoner, the artist Ronald Searle, they form a silent understanding of what solidarity, friendship and kindness to others can mean. The diaries and interviews with surviving prisoners drawn on in SURVIVING THE SWORD will tell a new generation about that solidarity, friendship and kindness. * Magisterial history of the Japanese prisoner-of-war experience, a gut-wrenching narrative that resonates to this day. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

London England: Abacus, Date: 2006. Paperback. Slight shelf wear to edges of cover. Some prisoners were determined that posterity should know how they were starved and beaten, marched almost to death and used as slave labour, and how thousands died from tropical diseases. They risked torture and execution to keep secret diaries and make sketches and drawings that they hid from the guards wherever they could, sometimes burying them in the graves of lost comrades. Drawing on these diares, and on interviews with former Far East Prisoners of War, this book tells of inhumanity and degradation, but also of inspirational examples of courage, comradeship and compassion.
