Place reservation for Never surrender : dramatic escapes from Japanese prison campsWhile there have been many books covering escapes from German POW camps, the exploits of those POWs in Japanese captivity have been strangely neglected - until now. Of the tens of thousands of Allied personnel captured by the victorious Japanese during late 1941 and early 1942 only a small number of brave souls attempted to escape to freedom rather than suffer brutality, starvation and very possibly death as POWs. The author draws on escape attempts from Hong Kong, Thailand, the Phillipines, Borneo, China by officers and men of British, Commonwealth and US armed forces. Few ended in freedom but all are examples of outstanding, desperate courage.
