Summary
Eric Lomax, a railway enthusiast, was taken prisoner in Malaya in 1941 while serving with the Signal Corps. He was put to work on the Burma-Siam railway; and he helped to build an illicit radio with which to follow the… progress of the war. The discovery of the radio brought on two years of dreadful torture and distress - one tormentor in particular remained in Lomax's memory for half a century. Late in life, Lomax learned how to believe in the possibility of hope. He then discovered that his Japanese interrogator was alive, and found out where he was with an extraordinary will to remember and forgive. 1995.
