Hard. First published in 1946, Behind Bamboo is one of the earliest, most powerful, and historically significant first-hand accounts of Japanese prisoner-of-war camps written in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. The author, Rohan D. Rivett, was a prominent Australian journalist and news broadcaster who was captured in Java in March 1942 while attempting to escape following the fall of Singapore. Rivett spent three and a half years as a captive, enduring forced labor under brutal conditions in Java, Burma, Siam (Thailand), and Japan. Written largely on scraps of paper hidden from guards during his imprisonment and completed immediately upon his liberation, the book delivers an unvarnished, intensely raw record of the Allied POW experience in Southeast Asia. The narrative provides an extraordinary, eyewitness account of the construction of the infamous Burma-Thailand Railway (the "Death Railway"), detailing the staggering human toll, relentless tropical diseases, malnutrition, and systemic brutality inflicted upon the slave labor force. Yet, beyond the catalog of suffering, Rivett places equal emphasis on the profound camaraderie, ingenuity, and psychological resilience of the prisoners. He meticulously documents the makeshift medical miracles performed by Australian military surgeons like Weary Dunlop, the underground news-gathering networks fueled by illicit radios, and the quiet acts of sabotage that sustained morale. A landmark work in Australian war literature that went through dozens of printings, Behind Bamboo remains a cornerstone primary text for military historians, scholars of the Pacific War, and collectors of Australiana and Southeast Asian wartime history. Colour fontis piece, unmarked text block with very slight toning of the rear endpaper. Dustjacket is in poor condition with majour tears and pieces missing. Australia.…
