Summary
A classic tale of man's inhumanity to man. As John McEwan, a young Gunner in the 155th (Lanarkshire Yeomanry) Royal Artillery Regiment, sailed down the Clyde in early 1941, he and his colleagues could never have imagined the horrors that lay ahead. Landing in Malaya, the regiment was confident of the success of their mission. But the confidence was soon to be replaced by utter disbelief when the British were totally outmaneuvered by the Japanese, culminating in their capture. McEwan was one of the few to survive the horrors of the ensuing captivity and mistreatment - this is his extraordinary story, told with humility and pride.
