The Railway Man-Eric Lomax, 9780099583844

A naive young man, a railway enthusiast and radio buff, was caught up in the fall of the British Empire at Singapore in 1942. He was put to work on the 'Railway of Death' -- the Japanese line from Thailand to Burma. Exhaustively and brutally tortured by the Japanese for making a crude radio, Lomax was emotionally ruined by his experiences. Almost 50 years after the war, however, his life was changed by the discovery that his interrogator, the Japanese interpreter, was still alive -- their reconciliation is the culmination of this extraordinary story. \n\""\n\nWe are sure that you will be delighted with your purchase.\n\nHowever, in the event that an issue may arise, please do not hesitate to contact us before leaving negative feedback, as we will always look to resolve any issues for you.\n\nAs the items we sell are in a used condition, we pride ourselves on grading them as accurately as possible.\n\nAs an added quality check, we photograph all of our items, AND THE ITEM YOU SEE IN TH.
