Description

A Doctor's War by Aidan MacCarthy is an extraordinary account of life as an RAF doctor during World War II. Serving in France and surviving Dunkirk, McCarthy recounts his harrowing experiences with remarkable ingenuity and humour. Interned by the Japanese in Java, he helped his fellow prisoners in appalling conditions, a testament to his resilience and resourcefulness. His ship was torpedoed en-route back to Japan in 1944, but he was rescued by a whaling boat and re-interned, only to witness firsthand the devastating effects of the Nagasaki atom bomb. This gripping memoir is a chilling yet fascinating account of one man's survival against all odds, written with dignity and humour.
