Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages have sunned. Light foxing to top and right foredges.

First published in 1946. Part of the series Australian War Classics presented by E E (Weary) Dunlop.

Behind Bamboo is unflinching in its honesty and haunting in its realism. It is a vivid, compelling testament to the Australians' will to survive and their unassailable spirit in the face of the most callous inhumanity.

The bestselling memoir of life as an Australian POW on the notorious Thai-Burma railway. Rohan Rivett was a journalist in Singapore when it fell to the Japanese in 1942. He escaped south, across the treacherous Bangka Strait to Indonesia but was soon captured and became just one of the thousands of POWs struggling for existence in a Japanese camp. The struggle was to last for more than three years. (back cover)
