My Father's Book: The true story of a Japanese Prisoner of War
A secret diary hidden in an RAF cap.
A young couple torn apart by war.
A daughter determined to share her father's story.
My Father's Book is a profound, moving, and honest story that brings to light the forgotten voices of Far East Prisoners of War during World War II.
Told through Tom's secret wartime diary, personal letters, and government telegrams, this book traces the harrowing journey of an RAF crewman from the hopeful early days of courtship in wartime Birmingham to being captured by the Japanese in 1942 and imprisoned for over 3 years across the remote islands of Southeast Asia.
