No More Tenko

My War - Life as a Japanese POW 1942 - 45

Buch

'NO MORE TENKO' is scripted from the memoirs of Ray Smith, a young British Aircraftsman in WW11 who was captured by the Japanese in 1942 aged just 18. He was held in captivity in POW Camps on Java and then Sumatra where he helped build the Central Sumatra Railway. The book is a moving account of daily life in the Camps, describing in detail actual occurrences, the brutality of the Korean Guards, the cunning, ingenuity and resolve of his fellow POWs and his subsequent appointment as Official Camp Interpreter which provided a personal insight into the relationship between the POWs and their captors.

Über den Autor


Jimmy Walker is the youngest of eleven children from an impoverished area of Merseyside. He left school at fifteen and, following several failed careers, managed a local charity and studied Creative Writing and English at the Open University. After some limited success in short stories and poetry, Jimmy became disillusioned and in order to feed his family, he returned to the construction industry. Eventually, he was able to revisit his love of writing, and what you are about to read is one result?
