A Fearful Freedom
An interesting account of a British soldier who survived in the jungles of Malay during the WWII occupation by the Japanese. His tale is one of almost continual sickness, malnutrition, fear, caution, as well as bravery and kindness (especially from many Chinese). Japanese atrocities are detailed, as well as heroic efforts by local guerrillas, and his escape and survival is full of pluck and luck. Simply and straightforwardly told, it would be a good book for middle/high school students.
