Forgotten Captives in Japanese Occupied Asia

Different types of captivity under the Japanese during the Second World War tend to be forgotten or obscured, and as such leave us with a stereotypical image of the Japanese captive as male, white and a British or Australian military POW.In this book, Blackburn and Hack along with an impressive team of international contributors, seek to rectify this obscured picture by bringing together for the first time a collection of essays covering an extremely broad range of forgotten captives, introducing groups left out of national stories, such as: local heroines in occupied territories European-Japanese children Indian POWs. Using archival, oral and literary sources, this book will appeal to anyone interested in Japanese wartime behaviour, and students and scholars of Asian/world history, Second World War history and prisoner of war studies.Blackburn, Kevin is the author of 'Forgotten Captives in Japanese Occupied Asia' with ISBN 9780415426350 and ISBN 0415426359.
