Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 530 pp., illustrations, bibliography, index. Only six escapees survived the Sandakan death marches of 1945 in North Borneo, the worst atrocity ever inflicted on Australian soldiers. 1787 Australian and 641 British POWs perished. Previous descriptions of the numerous violent acts have yielded little understanding of a situation where the real struggle was to keep one's humanity when so many were losing theirs, whether Allied POWs, local residents of Borneo, Javanese slave laborers, or Japanese soldiers. Understanding this extraordinary story is aided by reference to a wide range of sources in different countries and disciplines, and by examining the perspectives of all players in this terrible game of survival. An unusual and extreme POW story, the Sandakan tragedy had four stages: active resistance in 19423, stubborn endurance in 19434, the collapse of civilized existence in 1945 and, finally, the postwar decades of torment for the six damaged survivors, the gradual assimilation of the story, the healing of the damage and the commemoration of the tragedy by the families and communities involved.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 119 p. Includes: illustrations, bibliography. "Finding Jesselton is about my search to discover why a historical trading post in the South China Seas was so intriguingly once named after my great-grandfather, Sir Charles James Jessel. Therefore, I have decided to make a great effort and try and put down in print some of the Jessel family history, as it relates to Jesselton, which never seems to have been recorded either by the family or in history books of the time. I am disappointed by the lack of recorded family history. My father s excuse for this is that my grandfather always destroyed, or burned, all their private correspondence as it might be incriminating later in life! So over the past ten years whenever possible I have tried to collect various photographs and articles and have now, with the help of Gill and Roger Joye, published authors who live in Goudhurst, been able to start my own version of our family association with North Borneo. My father has already written his own book, Memories by Request, published in 2012, which covers his childhood days up until the late 1970s, so we do have one author of quite recent Jessel history in the family. My original aim was to tell the story of my great-grandfather, Sir Charles James Jessel, but as I started to research his life I realised that, as is so often the case in many family histories, it is always about more than just one man and in this case his connection with the British North Borneo Company. And so my story starts with Aaron Jesel of Frankfurt in the mid-18th century and finishes with my grandfather who died in 1977 plus a few recent trips to Kota Kinabalu, North Borneo (Sabah) to round it off!".…
