Description
By the laws of statistics, John Wyatt should not be here today to tell his story. He firmly believes that someone was looking after him during those four years. The odds stacked against him are staggering, and his survival is a testament to the human spirit. During the conflict in Malaya and Singapore, his regiment lost two-thirds of its men, and the Alexandra Military hospital was slaughtered by the Japanese, with only one survivor. The Burma Railway was a brutal experience, with 26% of British soldiers who worked on it dying. The harshest Japanese winter of 1944/45 was particularly harsh, with many more men succumbing to the extreme conditions. John's experiences are a graphic and compelling account of courage, endurance, and resilience. This book is a remarkable and harrowing account of one man's survival against all odds.
