Prisoners of the Japanese : literary imagination and the prisoner-of-war experience
"In this book Roger Bourke analyses the major novels and films of the prisoner-of-war experience under the Japanese and uncovers the extent to which these fictions have influenced our beliefs. The author also reveals fundamental differences between the prisoner-fictions of the Second World War and those written by and about non-prisoners. Moreover, Bourke's accounts of the prisoner as Christ-figure or Robinson Crusoe are original and thought-provoking."--Jacket
