Summary

Arthur Charles gives a personal account of his time as a POW on Java, including the use of secret radios and how he survived a firing squad. He depicts amazing resilience, resourcefulness, and even moments of humour amid the horror of captivity, where he suffered terrible mistreatment and deliberate efforts to humiliate. He managed to learn skills from other POWs such as contract bridge, chess, shorthand, and even English law.

this is an interesting book, but too short. there isn't enough detail about his situation.
it was also difficult to listen to, due to the monotone voice of the reader. however, I did enjoy it fir what it was, the survival of the writer. I wish you well

interesting, but too short
