a POW's searing account of war, brutality, and forgiveness
Eric Lomax was in Malaya during World War II and was taken prisoner and put to work on the infamous Burma-Siam Railway After the radio he illicitly helped build was discovered, he was subjected to two years of torture. He never forgot the interpreter at these sessions. At the end of the war he returned to England. Fifty years later he learned the interpreter was still alive. Moving beyond bitterness with the help of his wife, and knowing that he had to find some peace, he found out the man was still alive and they met once again.
