The Fall of Singapore by Gregg Freeman
Dempsey & Windle
This poetry collection marks the 80th anniversary of the Allied surrender at Singapore to numerically inferior Japanese forces, which led to thousands of deaths of prisoners of war and local workers forced to build the infamous Burma-Thailand ‘Death Railway’. The poet’s father was a railway survivor, and his words can be heard in this book.
"...written with reverence and candour and without a judgmental eye, which allows the experiences of everyday civilians to shine clearly through the darkness of war."
Antony Owen, Peace poet
