Against the Rising Sun: An Australian POW's Survival: From Changi to Nagasaki by Jeff Steel

From Singapore to Nagasaki –  An Australian POW’s Incredible Story

Against the Rising Sun tells the remarkable true story of Australian POW Don Graham, whose wartime service led him from the collapse of Singapore into the brutal realities of Japanese imprisonment and forced labour. Jeff Steel writes with clarity and momentum, tracing Don’s journey through Changi, Selarang Barracks and the slave labour camps of Japan with a strong eye for both historical detail and human endurance.

More than a military history, this is a deeply personal account of courage, mateship and survival under impossible conditions. A compelling choice for readers of Australian war history, POW memoirs and stories that illuminate both the hardship and resilience of those who lived through the Second World War.
