I had a special interest in reading this 200 page memoir as one of my patients where I worked was herself, a prisoner of war during the 1940's. She was held captive in some of the same camps mentioned in this memoir. Ernest Hillen has written a moving and sobering tale of his experiences as a prisoner of war in a Japanese war camp. Hillen and his family endured their fate with clamness and without hysteria. The memoir is filled with courage, stamina, friendship, love and even some humour as he tells the tale of his families life during their imprisonment. These POW's endured ghastly injustices, cruelty, brutality, anger, terror, fear and death. A remarkable memoir that should be read by everyone but will never be forgotten!
