About this book

Eric Lomax recounts a life in which his fascination with railways became inseparable from his experiences as a wartime prisoner on the Burma-Siam railway. His memoir considers the long effects of that captivity and a later reconciliation. It begins with railway stations as places of departure, separation and memory, linking personal history to the Second World War.
