THREE CAME HOME by Agnes Newton Keith - Hardcover Book 1947 Vintage Collectible
Cloth hardcover with no dust jacket in very good condition with minimal wear and pages are clean and unmarked. Spine lettering is somewhat faded. Comes with Book of the Month Club insert. Atlantic Monthly Press Book, 1947, 317 pages. This account of life in a Japanese prison camp in Borneo gives a fair evaluation of the author's experiences in relationship to the other prisoners, the camp guards, and the Japanese commandant. She tells of the cruelty and unexpected kindnesses that befell her during her four-year incarceration. The three who survived were her son and herself in the women's camp, and her agriculturalist husband in the men's camp, all of whom lost nearly fifty percent of their original body weight by the time they were liberated by British troops in 1945. Many similar stories were published after the war, but this one is noteworthy because of its balanced evaluation of the captors and their victims. This book has stood the test of time, and is as relevant today as it was seventy years ago. -Comprador Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
