The Changi book / edited by Lachlan Grant.

The Changi book / edited by Lachlan Grant.
Changi book /
In the tradition of The Anzac book comes this fascinating collection of accounts of life inside the notorious Shangi prison camp. The camp is synonymous with suffering and hardship, and the Australian prisoner-of-war experience in the Second World War. But the Changi story is also one of ingenuity, resourcefulness and survival. With cartoons, paintings, essays and photographs from POWs, The Changi Book provides a unique view of life in the camp: Medical innovation ; Machinery and tools made from spare parts and scrap ; Black markets ; Sports and gambling ; Entertainment ; A library and university. Seventy years after its planned publication, material for The Changi book was rediscovered in the Australian War Memorial archives and appears here for the first time along with insights from the Memorial's experts.
