From Book Cover Description:


Australia's Forgotten Prisoners

The Japanese captured 1500 Australian civilians during World War II. They spent the war interned in harsh, prisoner like camps throughout the Asia -Pacific region. Civilian internees - through not members of the armed force - endured hardship, privation and even death at the hands of the enemy.

This books tells the stories of Australian civilians interned by the Japanese in World War II. By re-creating the daily lives and dramas within internment camps, it explores how captivity posed different dilemmas for the men, women and children held there.
  
Australia's forgotten Prisoners is the first general history of Australians interned by teh Japanese in World War II. It examines the attitude of the Australian government to the prisoners, considers the experience of individuals who collaborated with the Japanese, and offers an explanation as to why these forgotten prisoners have never featured in commemorations of Australian participation on the pacific war.
