The railway man by Eric Lomax (Paperback)

About This Book

One of the most extraordinary true stories of the Second World War — and one of the most remarkable acts of forgiveness ever recorded. The Railway Man by Eric Lomax is the haunting, deeply moving memoir of a British Army officer who was captured by the Japanese in 1942 and forced to work on the Burma-Thailand railway — the infamous Death Railway. Subjected to brutal torture, Lomax carried the trauma for decades — until, fifty years later, he tracked down one of his torturers and chose forgiveness over vengeance. A profoundly human story of survival, suffering, and the extraordinary power of reconciliation.
