Thoughts

There are so many key observations from this incredible story of the WWII British soldier captured by the Japanese. From being sent to work on the Death Railway, to the Hellships, to surviving in the open sea with no food for 5 days. Disappointing that his country didn’t even recoginize the sacrificies that were made by these soldiers. It’s been a while that a book has moved me this much. Please buy a copy and read this.
