John Lane reconstructs the grim daily reality of captivity, from forced labour in Japanese mines and factories to the relentless physical and psychological cruelty inflicted upon men who refused to surrender their will to live. Drawing on personal testimonies and meticulous research, the narrative captures both the horror of imprisonment and the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.\n\nLane's account stands as a vital contribution to Australia's wartime literature, illuminating a chapter of history too often overshadowed by the more widely documented campaigns of the European theatre. His prose is unflinching yet deeply compassionate, honouring the dignity of men who endured the unendurable. Published by Fremantle Arts Centre Press, the book occupies an important place in the canon of Australian historical memory — and leaves the reader asking just how much of themselves these men had to sacrifice before summer could come again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130969465051,"sku":"2026200012372-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/07cc65fd-9730-4c98-badb-2a4992268322.png?v=1786593221","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012372-secondhand-summer-will-come-again-the-story-of-australian-pows-fight-for-survival-in-japan","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
