Summary:  "Reg Twigg was called up in 1940 and expected to fight Germans. Instead, he was sent to Singapore just before it fell to the Japanese. For three years he was held in camps along the Kwai river, building the infamous Burma railway for the Imperial Army. Tens of thousands died, succumbing to malaria, cholera, malnutrition, heatstroke, lethal snakes and river floods. But Reg ingenuously turned to the deadly jungle for survival: he trapped and ate lizards, harvested pumpkins from the canteen rubbish heap and made a razor to act as the camp's barber. Reg's extraordinary story - one of courage and determination and the will to beat a terrifyingly brutal regime which mercilessly killed thousands of British soldiers"--Back cover.
