Ronald Searle was present at the fall of Singapore, and later, while a prisoner of the Japanese and forced to work on the 'Railway of Death' in Burma, he made many detailed drawings of the suffering of a defeated army.

Their reminiscences illustrated by this work suggest a very different picture from the one put out by the official press photographs of those days.
