Voices from a forgotten history,
By hermit@whidbey.com (Langley,WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Defining Years of the Dutch East Indies, 1942-1949 : Survivors' Accounts of Japanese Invasion and Enslavement of Europeans and the Revolution that Created Free Indonesia (Library Binding)
This is history they didn't teach us in school! Jan Krancher has compiled 24 personal accounts from survivors of a brutal -and nearly forgotten- episode of World War II: the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies and imprisonment of thousands of its people. This 3 1/2 year occupation was immediately followed by a bloody revolution and the creation of modern Indonesia. These deeply moving stories, from civilian internees (including children) and military POW's, give the English-speaking reader a glimpse of what has been called the "other Holocaust", the brutalities of the Pacific War. You won't forget them. If you liked the film "Paradise Road", you won't want to miss this book. |
