NEVER SURRENDER: Escapes From Japanese Prison Camps by M. Felton 2013 HC 1Ed NEW

Description: NEVER SURRENDER: Dramatic Escapes From Japanese Prison Camps by Mark Felton. NEW First Edition unstated hardcover, 2013. 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 men attempted to escape to freedom rather than suffer brutality, starvation and very possibly death as POWs. These escapers faced challenges far more daunting than those of prisoners in German hands. These were Westerners in an alien, hostile land; the terrain and climate were extreme; disease was rife; their physical condition was weak; there was every chance of starvation and betrayal and, if captured, execution was a near certainty and the harshest punishment inevitable. The author draws on escape attempts from Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines, Borneo, and China by officers and men of the British, Commonwealth and US armed forces. Few ended in freedom but all are examples of outstanding, desperate courage. An inspiring and uplifting book that demonstrates the best and worst of human spirit.
