Bok Condition: As New. 12mo - over 6พ" - 7พ" Tall. 308 pp. "A true story of the Allied prisoners of war who emerged from the grueling task of building the River-Kwai railway and were jammed into the tiny holds of two ships bound for Japan. Suddenly both craft were sunk by American submarines. Thus began a shocking ordeal unsurpassed inhistory. Surviving POW's clustered desperately together, living in constant fear of sharks, drinking seawater and going mad, drifting into lethal oil slicks, or simply vanishing under the waves. Of 1300 prisoners, only 152 made it."
