In the ensuing chaos, all of them had to find a way to live -- or die -- in hundreds of camps spread across thousands of miles, from Manchuria to Manila, from Singapore to Nagasaki. Forty percent of American servicemen did not survive, and more Australians died in captivity than were killed in combat. Based on archives and interviews in eight countries and five languages, Prisoners of the Empire shows not just how POWs survived, but why they had to endure such a terrible ordeal"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: A history both familiar and strange -- From avatar of modernization to outlaw nation -- Singapore: a world gone topsy turvy -- The Philippines: commonwealth of hell -- A war of words -- Korea: life and death in a model camp -- Captivity on the home front -- Endings and beginnings -- Undue process -- Prisoners of history: renegotiating the Geneva Conventions in the wake of war -- Conclusion: Never again, and again. 648 7 $a 1926-1945 $2 fast 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Prisoners and prisons, Japanese. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Europe. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z United States. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Australia. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Asia. 650 7 $a Prisoners of war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077227 651 0 $a Japan $x History $y 1926-1945. 651 7 $a Asia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240495 651 7 $a Australia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204543 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020252.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8573BEDC8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
