Win one of five copies of The Man Inside: The bloodiest outbreak by Graham Apthorpe valued at $29.99 each.
The war in the Pacific has turned; thousands of previously invincible Japanese soldiers are now being captured in New Guinea and interned at the Cowra prisoner-of-war camp. They are unlike other POWs, and the traditional Japanese Bushido code and their fanaticism leave them ill equipped for surrender and imprisonment. They are ashamed, subdued and sullen, but one man, Second Lieutenant Maseo Naka, is an exception. Obstructing the Australian authorities at every turn, he was the first Japanese soldier to escape from Cowra. This action becomes the precursor for the more than 1000 Japanese prisoners who escape in the bloodiest breakout of W orld War II that ultimately saw 234 Japanese and four Australian guards killed. Naka’s escape, and the defiance, guilt, and shame that motivated it, led to him being court-martialled.
To enter, tell us in which town the prisoner-of-war camp in the book was located.
