Japanese Prisoners of War in India 1942-46
Bushido and Barbed Wire
by T.R. Sareen
This is the first in-depth study to examine the history, treatment and conditions of more than 2500 Japanese prisoners of war who were captured by British forces on the Burma front and kept in India during the period 1942-46.
Drawing on original sources, including the National Archives of India, the International Committee of the Red Cross, as well as limited government records in the UK, USA and Japan, together with some former Japanese POW’s first-hand accounts, the author has been able to provide a detailed picture of the way of life of these prisoners, the organization of camp life, as well as the policies that governed their incarceration. In so doing, the author fills a significant gap both in Pacific War studies and prisoner-of-war history.
