Description
Product Details

This is the combination of two books, a biography of Australian POW legend Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop and The War Diaries of Weary Dunlop by EE Dunlop. Being an account of both his war years and civil life.

In a wartime nightmare of starvation, disease, brutality and death, Sir Edward 'Weary' Dunlop's courage and compassion made him an Australian legend. During more than three years as a surgeon in the notorious work camps and vast hospital camps along the Burma-Thailand railway, he worked tirelessly to save lives and get men home to their families. He confronted his captors fearlessly; three times he was tortured and taken out to be executed, only to be reprieved at the last moment.

Fellow prisoners regarded him as 'a symbol of hope and a rock'.
