Présentation de l'éditeur
“His is a story of the human spirit triumphing against the most fearful odds.” - Derek Jameson
The Emperor’s Guest is Don Peacock’s diary of 1276 days as a British prisoner of war of the Japanese in Indonesia during World War II, spent mainly as a white coolie on the tropical island of Haruku. The tale opens in Singapore as the young Yorkshireman is patriotically drinking gin, to prevent it falling into enemy hands. Fleeing on a ship bound for Australia, he is ordered off in Batavia (now Jakarta) to defend Java, but the island surrenders and, after rejecting a guerrilla life behind Japanese lines, he is persuaded to join a slave-labour battalion.
After conversion to a rice diet, and toughening up to withstand the brutality, he joins a party transforming Haruku into an aircraft carrier. The island of disease, despair and death is run by a half-crazed sergeant as his own little kingdom. Survivors run the gauntlet of American bombers and submarines to regain Java. The author is bound for Indo-China when the Allies blocked the Seas and he ends his war in Singapore.
“The writer will always remain one of my heroes.” - Lepanto
