The Railway Man |
Eric Lomax was captured by the Japanese in Singapore 1942. He was sent to work on the Burma-Siam railway where he and his fellow prisoners lived in the most appalling conditions. Horribly tortured by his captors, he spent the rest of the war there until finally released when the Japanese surrendered. Fifty years later, he flew to Thailand and met one of his tormentors.
