Australia's Forgotten Prisoners: Civilians Interned by the Japanese in World War Two
Twomey, Christina (Monash University, Victoria)
The Japanese captured 1500 Australian civilians during World War II. They spent the war interned in harsh, prison-like camps throughout the Asia-Pacific. Civilian internees - though not members of the armed forces - endured hardship, privation and even death at the hands of the enemy. This book, first published in 2007, tells their stories.
