Dizziness. Cant sleep. Bad dreams (never have been released). The rice jungle had some compensation to some of us who just dont seem to make a success of our return." Robert, A Returned POW</p><p>This landmark and compelling book follows the stories of 15,000 Australian prisoners of war from the moment they were released by the Japanese at the end of World War II. Drawing on the records of the Prisoner of War Trust Fund for the first time, this book presents the struggles of returned prisoners in their own words. It also shows that memories of captivity forged new connections with people of the Asia-Pacific region, as former POWs sought to reconcile with their captors and honour those who had helped them. A grateful nation ultimately lauded and commemorated POWs as worthy veterans from the 1980s, but the real story of the fight to get there has not been told until now.</p>...2450776The Battle Within390410https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-battle-within-9781742244099/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2835927/6fc1a3a8-a8a3-41a1-aeba-e00e4fa082b7.jpg?v=638384517963130000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189781742244099_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_<p>"Headaches.
