Carefully and sensitively researched, [i]A Cruel Captivity[/i] differs in a number of respects from other moving POW accounts , in that it covers the experiences of 22 servicemen who were held captive in numerous locations through South East Asia.
The book also examines the various mental and physical effects that the prisoners' captors' treatment had on them. The author's handling of the 'legacy' of their experiences during the post-war years makes this moving book particularly important.
For a full understanding of this dreadful aspect of the Second World War, [i]A Cruel Captivity[/i] is a must-read.
