520    The true story of a soldier who survived Japanese capture,
       a sinking hell ship, and the bombing of Nagasaki, all 
       while his family fought their own battle in the Burmese 
       jungle. While leading an attack on Hong Kong's Golden Hill,
       Jack Devereux of the Royal Scots is shot through the head.
       Then a Japanese officer attempts to behead him in order to
       blood his samurai sword. Waking briefly, Devereux kills 
       his would-be executioner, impressing his captors. 
       Fascinated by their prisoner's grisly wounds, they allow 
       him to live, but Devereux's trials are only beginning. In 
       a precarious physical state, the wounded soldier 
       experiences the horrific sinking of the Japanese freighter
       LisbonMaru, in which hundreds of POWs drown; survives the 
       shark-infested South China Sea; and burrows in the mines 
       of Nagasaki as the atom bomb falls. Meanwhile, his family 
       hides in Burma, hoping against hope that they will one day
       be reunited with Devereux. Written by his son, Brian 
       Devereux-whose mother carried him from Mandalay to the 
       deserted medieval city known today as Bagan-this is an 
       amazing account of the terrifying wartime journey of a 
       soldier and his family.
