For the first time, the uncut edition of James Clavell's King Rat, together with a new introduction from John Simpson.
King Rat is the powerful story of one man's attempt to survive the harshest of environments, purely on his wits and opportunism. Japanese P.O.W. camps were notorious for their brutality, and Changi prison in Singapore was one of the hardest of them all. In addition - and for the first time - it includes the story of the families left behind.
This is Clavell's most personal book as he, himself, was imprisoned in Changi after the fall of Singapore in World War II.
