Of the tens of thousands of Allied personnel captured by the victorious Japanese during late 1941 and early 1942 only a small number of brave souls attempted to escape to freedom rather than suffer brutality, starvation and very possibly death as POWs. The author draws on escape attempts from Hong Kong, Thailand, the Phillipines, Borneo, China by officers and men of British, Commonwealth and US armed forces. Few ended in freedom but all are examples of outstanding, desperate courage. 541 $d 20190409. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Prisoners and prisons, Japanese. 650 $a Prisoner-of-war escapes $z Japan. 941 $a 1 952 $l YXPB162 $d 20190619012109.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=984F8496925711E99C50735597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
