The ability to communicate with their relatives is one of the precious lifelines for the prisoners in any war. In East Asia in WW2 it was especially critical. It literally provided for many the will to live and the tenuous hold on life in those desperate years.
This book provides for the first time a history of communications between the prisoners and their families.
It is more than just a book on postal history. It provides an insight into the meaning and importance of these communications to those at home and those imprisoned.
In the words of Martin Bell in the foreword to this book "this is a goldmine- the stuff of history- a priceless and universal appendix to so many singular stories".
The work covers all aspects of the mail to and from the prisoners of war and civilian internees:
