In this show we will have a look at the infamous Death Railway in Burma and Thailand, the facts, the myths and the reality for the POWs and local civilians involved. If the subject is new to you, a good starting point is the epic movie Bridge on the River Kwai - a highly fictionalised version of the history.
Our guest is Stuart Lloyd a prolific travel and military author. He was born in Zimbabwe, and has lived roughly one third of his life in Africa, one third in Australasia, and one third in Asia.
