"[An account of the] historical tragedy of the 220 km railroad that bored its way through the hot, humid Sumatran jungle during World War II. The railway was commissioned by Japan and built with the blood and tears of Allied prisoners of war and press-ganged Javanese romushas ... [The author] interviewed nearly one hundred former railroad workers and did painstaking archival research ... [This book is] illustrated with ... authentic drawings of life in the internment camps, charts, and photographs"--Page 4 of cover.
