Editorial Reviews
The Bridge on the River Kwai dramitised the ww2 story of the thailand-Burma Railway, Yet it was Largely Fictional. Allied POW battled torture, starvationand disease to hack the 255-mile railway out of harsh jungle for the Japanese. Finishing in only 14 months, many never returned from "The Railway of Death". the programme interviews former P.O.W.S and guards to reveal what really happened and how the collaborating officer lieutenant colonel Philip Toosey, was a hero not a traitor. The Japanese did not observe the rules of war and it is almost impossible to imagine the horror and suffering ebndured by the allied prisoners, Subjected to unbelievable creulty over 10'000 men lost their lives having been starved, tortured and ravaged by a host terrible diseases. In a land that was witheringly hot and besieged by monsoon, they were caught in a relentless cycle of cruelty and death.
