Set against the catastrophic fall of Singapore in 1942 — one of Britain's most devastating wartime defeats — McCormac chronicles his audacious escape from a brutal prisoner-of-war camp and his extraordinary 1,500-mile journey through Japanese-occupied territory, navigating treacherous jungles, rivers, and enemy lines to reach freedom.\n\nMcCormac's narrative is a visceral testament to human endurance, written with the unvarnished directness of a man who lived every word. His account illuminates the savage realities of Japanese captivity, the camaraderie forged in desperation, and the primal will to survive that drove him beyond every conceivable limit. Published by Robert Hale Limited and including maps that chart his incredible odyssey, this gripping memoir raises a question that will grip readers from the first page: how does a condemned man, deep in enemy territory, find his way home?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50573391266011,"sku":"2026100011451-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/261a6f35-52e2-4900-abaa-9758d60cada4.png?v=1791168180","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011451-secondhand-youll-die-in-singapore","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
