Hellfire - Cameron Forbes

Written by Cameron Forbes
Read by Peter Byrne
Unabridged

The most critically acclaimed account of Australian Prisoners of War of the Japanese ever published:”A superb account… Cameron Forbes has a novelist’s eye for character and place and an historian’s concern for the truth. The result is prose that shines and a story that plumbs all that is best and worst in the human condition.” (Les Carlyon)”Humane, deeply imagined, full of intelligence and well-researched… If you want a book about a heroic time full of blood and tears and drama, if you want the Anzac spirit and the Last Post and the sense that we are, sometimes at least, a great nation, look no further.” (Peter Craven, Sydney Morning Herald)”He listened to the old men who still survive, or were still surviving in the years it took him to write this book. Forbes listened to their tales with emotional intelligence. And because he could translate that emotional intelligence to the page he keeps us reading to the last word… Oh, the celebration of the human spirit that Forbes has produced… Thank you, Cameron Forbes, for taking the years, the care, the trouble to tell this story in your words, for us today.” (Michael McKernan, The Age)”Forbes’ robust account is written with passion and rage and it is full of sharp insights that bring brilliantly to life disturbing, unforgettable vignettes of what men had to endure to survive these atrocious years… Powerful, vividly evocative books such as this will keep alive the memory of who did what to whom.” (Red Harrison, The Weekend Australian)”Forbes’ narrative brings all his elegance as a wordsmith, his many years as a war correspondent and his extensive insights into the cultures, history and topography of Asia to the task of documenting one of the more shameful episodes of 20th century inhumanity… Hellfire, faithfully translated, would be a perfect addition to the reading list in Japanese schools.” (Tony Parkinson, International Editor, The Age)”What distinguishes this book from others on the same topic is its breadth, its detail, its objectivity… This excellent account sets it all in stone: the suffering, the bravery, the heroism, the mateship.” (Phillip Knightly, The Monthly)”Forbes is a skilful storyteller. The heart of his research is his 50 interviews with surviving prisoners of war. It is their stories, refracted through Forbes’ acute eye for a telling detail or a quote, which give this book its power.” (Peter Stanley, Principal Historian, Australian War Memorial, Canberra Times)”Remarkably wide-ranging and thoroughly researched… Hellfire is a first-rate account of the history of these prisoners of war.” (Professor Ross Fitzgerald, The Bulletin)”Cameron Forbes’ Hellfire captivated me. It is an understatement to say how moved I was by this book.” (Tom Uren, former Prisoner of War)”This book gives us an insight into the incredible hardships faced by some amazing Australians who were PoWs during World War II. Their personal stories of courage, determination and survival serve to remind us of their great sacrifice and service. This is one man’s keen and hugely affectionate observation of some of the most heroic men of their age.” (General Peter Cosgrove, AC, MC, former Chief of the Defence Force)”Forbes’ brilliance as a journalist shines through in this book… Here is a first-rate, prize-winning reporter telling a good story, and telling it well. He puts flesh and shed blood on to the bare bones of history, and we live the PoW experience through his words.” (John Hamilton, Herald Sun)”Hellfire goes much further than recounting the horrors of the PoWs. He delves into the mindset of the Japanese that led them to treat their prisoners so deplorably, and seeks to understand and not just condemn, and that makes this superb account well worth reading.” (Frank Walker, Sun Herald)”Powerful and passionate.” (Chris Brice, Literary Editor, Adelaide Advertiser)”Until now, there has not been a book which told the whole story, from start to finish, from both sides… Cameron Forbes…
