The Men Of The Line

The extraordinary engineering feat of the Thai-Burma Railway, or the Line as it is often called, was built with a slave labour force. The men of the Line died of starvation, torture and disease at the hands of the Japanese Imperial Army - here are their stories. 'The Men of the Line' traces the working camps along the Line and is a potent mix of personal experience, history and illustration. 'The Men of the Line' brings to life the horror, the humour and the camaraderie of these men's lives.
