Описание:
In 1941, together with thousands of other young Australian soldiers, Russell Braddon was sent to Malaya, where Allied forces were attempting to halt the territorial expansion of the Japanese. Their efforts were in vain, and after the fall of Singapore, Braddon spent almost four years as a prisoner of war. Intelligent, resourceful and tough in body and spirit, he was determined to surmount his ordeal. While tens of thousands died as a result of unimaginable deprivation and brutal treatment, Braddon survived, finally emerging from the notorious Changi prison on swollen legs and ulcerated feet. This memoir of his experiences portrays battle and prison life as experienced in the ranks. It is a tale of heroism, horror, squalor, starvation and disease endured with fortitude, ironic humour and extraordinary ingenuity.Формат: 13 см x 19,5 см.Похожие книги
