The story of two Australian men, Digger and Vic, and how their lives are effected by being prisoners-of-war together in a WWII Japanese camp. The author is especially skilled at description and there are several very moving scenes with beautiful imagery. This writing falls into the New Yorker category of fiction.

Here is a look at history from down-under. Australia's role in the war and how it affected the country is a part of this book. Of course it's about all of us
