內容簡介: |
The Japanese captured 1500 Australian civilians during World
War II. They spent the war interned in harsh, prison-like camps
throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Civilian internees – though not
members of the armed forces – endured hardship, privation and even
death at the hands of the enemy. This book tells the stories of
Australian civilians interned by the Japanese in World War II. By
recreating the daily lives and dramas within internment camps, it
explores how captivity posed different dilemmas for men, women and
children. It is the first general history of Australian citizens
interned by the Japanese in World War II.
