Not enough said : one man's survival in captivity in the Far East during WWII

Books
This book adds to the record of the 60,000 allied troops who were captured by the Imperial Japanese Army in February 1942 and were taken to Thailand to construct a railway, under extreme duress, from Thailand to Burma by which the Japanese forces would supply their ill-fated campaign in Burma. The prisoners of war faced exceptional hardship from the harsh conditions, disease and from their captors. One in five of the 30,000 British soldiers who worked on that railway died. One who endured some of the worst episodes but survived was Colour Sergeant Johnnie Sell of the 4th Battalion Royal Norfolk Regiment. This book tells his story. It has been written by his son, Duke Sell, long after his father’s death in 1979, from memories of what he had been told and from records that he and others have researched.
