Popular perceptions of life in Japanese prisoner of war camps are
dominated by images of emaciated figures, engaged in slave labour,
and badly treated by their captors. This book, based on extensive
original research, shows that this view is quite wrong in relation
to the large camp at Changi, which was the main POW camp in
Singapore. It demonstrates that in Changi the Japanese afforded the
captives a high degree of autonomy, that this in turn resulted in a
prison camp society that grew and flourished, in contrast to other
Japanese POW camps, and that it fostered an independent and
combative spirit, and high morale.
