5.0 out of 5 stars
A unique testimony in pictures,
By A Customer
This review is from: And the Dawn Came Up Like Thunder (Hardcover)
This book is an exceptional testimony to the courage and suffering of those who were POWs on the Burma-Siam Railway. Although it is not a literary book, like Eric Lomax's "The Railway Man", the rawness of Rawlings' prose compells the reader's empathy and compassion. What makes this book unique is that Rawlings was an artist and this book is full of his pictures - made at the time, under the most horrific and dangerous conditions. They are stark, realistic and paradoxically compassionate. Through his pictures he most eloquently pays tribute to his comrades and makes us confront their sufferings. A remarkable book which should be read by anyone with a serious historical interest in the events that took place on that notorious railway.
