The Forgotten Ones: Women and Children Under Nippon by Shirley Fenton-Huie

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Faint small mark on tail title page.

In 1942, in Indonesia, 70,000 women and children and 35,00 men were captured and held in Japanese prisoner camps. For three and a half years, families were separated.

Shirley Fenton-Huie interviewed more than 120 women survivors now living in Australia. They told of life interned without knowing when they would be released. Emaciated and starving, they survived seemingly impossible odds to bring themselves and their children back to peace and safety.
