Peter Fitzsimons presents here the torture and horror of what has become the symbol of World War Two for Australians. He sets out to capture and highlight the courage of the men who suffered and to articulate the conditions under which they fought. As well as describing the conditions at the front and in the face of the enemy Fitzsimons takes us into the discussions between Blamey and Macarthur as they formulate the plans for the movement of troops and material.
