Synopsis
Ray Parkin's classic POW trilogy, originally published in the 1960s, has been out of print for many years. Now eagerly sought after, it will be available for the first time in a single volume. Written with honesty, humour and sharp observation, the three volumes are illustrated with Parkin's delightful drawings., Both the courage and the inhumanity displayed during wartime are chronicled in these three diaries penned by Ray Parkin, who served during World War II. Engaging narratives and pictures detail his experience on the "HMAS Perth in the Sunda Strait battle with the Japanese naval force that eventually sunk his ship. Also recounted are Parkin's 15 months as a prisoner of war, during which he helped construct the Burma-Siam railway. Details of his final 12 months of captivity in a crowded tramp steamer reveal the endurance of soldiers who survived submarine attacks and weathered a typhoon. These stories provide a single man's perspective on the war but also offer insight into the Japanese way of thinking and the traumas of combat.
