This is a story of innocence betrayed; of passion and curiosity about the world of machines turned nightmarish, and punished by the cruelty of which only humans are capable. It is also a story of survival and of courage. Eric Lomax was tortured by the Japanese on the Burma-Siam Railway. Fifty years later he met one of his tormentors.
A profound and beautifully written story of heart-rending honesty, one of the most moving accounts to have come out of the Second World War.
