You can only ever give 5 stars for stories like these ... those that open your eyes to the reality of war and the harrowing nature of what life was like for those unfortunate to have been taken prisoner but lucky enough to have survived.

This is a really well written and powerful account of one man's experiences during World War II and is a eye-opening and, at times, shocking read.

Their stories cannot and should never be forgotten.

Thank you to the authors, Pen & Sword and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this emotional story.

Intriguing and moving. The bravery is incredible. True heroes. Well written and evoking we are given an insight to what these poor people went through. .

This was another intense read. I was fully submerged in this story and what was going to happen next. I was glad I went into this story blind and not knowing what it was about other than what is seen on the front cover. I enjoyed this story a lot. Opened my eyes to another person’s experience and I appreciate this!

‘Captured at Singapore’ is an account from a side of history I know very little about; an individual held as a Prisoner of War in the Far East following the Second World War.

As a history student; Primary Sources are invaluable, and so the authors have helped greatly by offering an additional one. For casual readers - this book is not going to be super compelling / entertaining; it is not designed to be. It’s a raw account.
