A Cool Head in Hell: The Wartime Diaries of a British Doctor from Dunkirk to the Burma Railway

Opis
A Cool Head in Hell is a compelling historical narrative based on Harry Silman's diaries, comprising one of the most comprehensive accounts by a POW under the Japanese to survive WWII.
Silman joined the British Army in 1939 as a medical officer. In 1940, he was one of the last soldiers to be shipped out during the mass retreat from Dunkirk. In 1942, his division was assigned to assist in the defence of Singapore, but arrived just before the island fell to Japan. Silman spent the rest of the war in the notorious Changi POW camp and upcountry at Hellfire Pass, where he tended to Allied prisoners forced to labour on the Burma Railway.
Throughout, Silman kept diaries in secret - illegal and dangerous for a POW. He wrote regular accounts of his harrowing experiences in the camps when he himself was weakened and exhausted, caring as best he could for hundreds of ill, wounded and dying men. Articulate, graphic, compassionate and lit with good humour, the diaries have been edited with care and illuminating commentary by Silman's daughter, Jacqueline Passman.A Cool Head in Hell is a compelling historical narrative based on Harry Silman's diaries, comprising one of the most comprehensive accounts by a POW under the Japanese to survive WWII.
