About this listen
At 11.02 am on an August morning in 1945, America dropped the world's most powerful atomic bomb on the Japanese port city of Nagasaki. The city was flattened, and more than 70,000 Japanese citizens were killed. Among the horrific scenes were also hundreds of Allied British, Australian, American and Dutch prisoners of war, working as forced labourers in the shipyards and factories of Nagasaki. This book tells their remarkable untold stories - from the bloody battles of the Malayan jungle, to the 'hell ships' transporting them to Japan, and finally the devastating impact of the world's second atomic bomb.
Drawing on unpublished and rarely seen notes, interviews and memoirs, this unique book weaves together a vivid picture of defeat, endurance and survival against astonishing odds.

Portrayal of damage
Good to hear an assortment of horrific stories from in detail. It could be good to hear more of the Japanese people’s experience.

well researched and written
so glad that someone has takes the time to document the stories of men and women that suffered under the Japanese during WW2. these are so rarely talked about and could easily have been lost to history. my grandfather was in fukuoka 2b and this book has confirmed so mamy of the stories he told me and filled in many of the gaps.
