Description

A Doctor's War by Rowley Richards is a personal and poignant account of one man's experiences during World War II. As a young doctor and officer in the army reserve, Richards found himself at the forefront of the horrors of battle, imprisonment, and survival. In this memoir, Richards recounts his time as a medical officer in POW camps, where he witnessed shocking conditions and recorded the courage, humour, and mateship of his fellow prisoners. The book also covers his carefree childhood in Australia and his post-war career as a doctor, offering a unique reflection on humanity and the will to survive. Richards' story is an engagingly personal account that sheds light on the human experience during one of history's most tumultuous periods.
