5.0 out of 5 starsSobering and Enlightening
By Colleen Fleming on September 9, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
In school, I'd never learned much about WWII aside from the German end of things. This book was my introduction to what was happening in other parts of the world at the time -- which in some places was equally horrifying. While there's a lot of supplementary material and summaries the author includes to give the reader better context, most of the text is a transcription of his own notes made while experiencing this stuff; watching the way his thoughts change over time is both fascinating and a bit of a wake-up call. I remember putting the book down to look around my house, and making note of all the things I have (air conditioning, a toilet that's mine and that works, eggs and meat and vegetables in the fridge, vitamin supplements, all kinds of handy medicine) that these people didn't, and suddenly realizing that hey, I've got it pretty awesome.

Very glad this book exists. It's both a challenge to readers' worldviews and a wealth of information for anyone researching this subject.

5.0 out of 5 starsUnbelievable

The extreme conditions that the prisoners had to endure are beyond anyone's belief, but this has been told in such a beautiful way.

5.0 out of 5 starsan amazing book
By C. Vieille on December 5, 2012
Format: Paperback
Prisoner of Japan is in the same time an exceptional history book, a thriller and the personal story of an amazing gentleman in dreadful times. You cannot leave that book when you have opened it. Every body or nearly every body read the Bridge on the river Kwai. This book has the same strength and the same inspiration. A must read
