Description
Lieutenant Colonel Philip Toosey was the senior officer among the 2,000-odd Allied servicemen incarcerated in Tamarkan prison camp, and as such had to comply with the Japanese orders to help construct their Thailand-Burma railway. Written by Toosey's granddaughter, this remarkable portrait of a forgotten British hero and leader is a riveting blend of biography and history.
