ISBN10: 0732911680, ISBN13: 9780732911683, [publisher: Pan Macmillan] Softcover A memoir of life and death on the Burma-Thailand Railway. Four and a half days after being transported out of Singapore in a steel goods train in October 1942, prisoner of war Denys Peek found himself in Siam, and a part of the labour force destined for the project that was later to be known as the Thai-Burma death railway. Together with his brother, Ron, and contingents from the Australian and British armies and Volunteer units, among others, Denys spent the duration of the war in over fifteen different work and ‘hospital’ camps on the railway where over 20,000 prisoners of war and uncounted slave labourers met their deaths. Told in the present tense, One Fourteenth of an Elephant is a haunting, evocative and deeply moving testimony to the suffering and the bravery of those who lived and died on the railway. Against a backdrop of inhumanity and brutality, the greatest examples of humanity and courage are thrown into stark relief, as the author takes us through a daily struggle for survival. Told with clarity, passion and an incredible eye for detail and description, this is an utterly enthralling story and a classic in the making.

ISBN10: 0732911680, ISBN13: 9780732911683, [publisher: Pan Macmillan, US] Softcover First Edition Peek's book is about the three years and more he spent working on the railway the Japanese forced their prisoners to build through Thailand to Burma during the second world war. What makes the book unusual is not Peek's abiding hatred of the Japanese. If you had survived what he did, while more than 20,000 PoWs had died (many fewer than the number of dead Thai, Malaysian and Burmese slave labourers), you would hate the Japanese too. He is generous enough, anyway, to recall his horror watching newsreels of German atrocities "carried out by nations we used to think were civilised and, indeed, almost our kith and kin". No, what surprises is Peek's hatred of Churchill and the other war leaders he alleges ordered the abject surrender of Singapore, where Peek had lived for most of his 20 years. Even worse, he writes, were the inadequate equipment and training of the British forces in Singapore, although thousands of volunteers, like him, flocked to the colours and were eager to fight. "Surely," Peek writes, "the truth will come out some day when the stringencies of war have gone and guilty men can be named in public." Almost as unsettling is Peek's condemnation of the officers in the camps who, with a few exceptions - one or two colonels and all the doctors - shirked their duty to look after their men by rarely appearing among ...
