"The extraordinary engineering feat of the Thai-Burma Railway, or the Line as it is often called, was built with a slave labour force. A mixture of Australian, Asian, British, Dutch and American men built 688 bridges-eight made of steel and concrete-viaducts, cuttings, embankments and kilometres and kilometres of railway track through thick malarial jungle. The men of the Line died of starvation, torture and disease at the hands of the Japanese Imperial Army-here are their stories."--Provided by publisher.

In 2007 Pattie Wright obtained the stories of 55 men who worked on the Line. Some have lived a very long life, others had their stories told by family or mates. Many had not spoken of the horrors of this time before.
Their stories, while just a snapshot of each life, are accompanied by photos, maps and drawings, and pay tribute to the sacrifice of so many.
An appreciative read. ( )
