The Real Tenko: Extraordinary True Stories of Women Prisoners of the Japanese by Mark Felton

This book details the treatment of Allied servicewomen, female civilians and local women by the Japanese occupation forces.

While several memoirs have been published, there is no dedicated volume. It chronicles the massacres of nurses (such as that at Alexandra Hospital, Singapore), disturbing atrocities on both Europeans and Asians, and accounts of imprisonment. It reveals how many ended up in Japanese hands when they should have been evacuated.

Also covered are the hardships of long marches and the sexual enslavement of white and native women (so called 'comfort women').
