The time: World War II. The place: Singapore, the last British bastion in Asia, has fallen. The East Indies are lost, together with Allied Armies stationed there. Almost 150,000 young men were captured and only one in fifteen would survive the three and a half years to VJ Day. Changi, the most notorious POW camp in Asian is deep in Japanese-occupied territory. Here, within the seething mass of humanity, one man, an American corporal, seeks dominance over both captives and captors alike. His weapons are drive, unblinking understanding of human weaknesses and total willingness to exploit every opportunity to enlarge his power and corrupt or destroy anyone who stands in his path. It is a story of courage - but the reader must decide who are the courageous ones. Note: James Clavell lived through those years as a young soldier
