One of the few remaining surviving members of the Gordon Highlanders, Alistair Urquhart was captured by the Japanese in Singapore and subjected to not just one, but three, close encounters with death.
He’ll tell his incredible story of survival working on the notorious Bridge on the River Kwai, aboard a Japanese ‘hellship’ which was torpedoed and five days alone on a raft on the South China Sea. An indictment of the criminal regime that ran Japan during the war, Alistair also hopes his book is inspirational to those who suffer adversity in their daily lives.
