No other place is more closely associated with the Australian prisoner-of-war experience of the Second World War than Changi. With 15,000 Australian soldiers captured at the fall of Singapore, the camp has become synonymous with suffering and hardship.

Containing essays, cartoons, paintings, and photographs created by prisoners of war, \u003ci\u003eThe Changi Book \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a unique view of the camp: life-saving medical innovation, machinery and tools created from spare parts and scrap, black-market dealings, sport and gambling, theatre productions, and the creation of a library and university. Originally slated for publication in 1945, the material for \u003ci\u003eThe Changi Book \u003c\/i\u003ewas recently unearthed in the Australian War Memorial archives. It appears here for the first time along with insights from the Memorial's experts and an introduction from historian Lachlan Grant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lachlan Grant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1742231616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781742231617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e NewSouth Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 8.00w x 1.40d","brand":"Lachlan Grant","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453906235647,"sku":"9781742231617","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d6fa5f1-a0ef-46d0-b1fc-612566587db2.jpg?v=1777302958","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-changi-book-lachlan-grant-9781742231617","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
