A memoir of a British woman interned in Japanese internment/
concentration camps on Java at Tangerang,Tjideng,Kampong and Makassar,during the period 1942-45.
Much has been written about the male side of captivity under the Japanese during the Second World War.But how did women fare? Java Nightmare,an autobiography,tells the enthralling story of companionship and endurance forged when women were tested to the limits
of their human frailty.This book is a frank record of daily life in the concentration camps of a part of south-east Asia,revealing the horrors and squalors that had to be endured.But it is also a remarkable testimony to the power of the human spirit to survive.Further,it is a historical record of interest,from a period of cataclysmic change in the world's social order.Daphne Jackson,the author,lives in Cornwall.
