Blending military history with a deeply personal memoir, it’s an unflinching yet humane World War II account that stays focused on what survival looked like day to day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAfter surrender, Don endures Changi and Selarang, then the terrifying journey on a hell ship to Japan. Forced into slave labour at the Kawasaki shipyards in Kobe and later the Yoshikuma coal mine near Nagasaki, he learns how quickly hunger, illness and arbitrary punishment can erase the normal rules of life. Even as war’s end approaches, danger takes a final, chilling turn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003ePerfect for readers of Australian military history, WWII nonfiction, POW narratives, and stories of mateship and resilience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAdd it to your shelf and discover a remarkable voice of endurance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52263723663636,"sku":"9781923514287","price":36.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9781923514287_1.jpg?v=1774244459","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/against-the-rising-sun","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
