"These diaries of Sir Edward Dunlop are of great human and historical importance. They are concerned with an aspect of the War in the East, a sort of war within the externally more dramatic and momentous war of which the world knows far too little and of which those who were most intimately and authoritatively concerned have not yet adequately rendered account. This war within a War was that which the hundreds of thousands of European, American and Australian prisoners of war and internees of the Japanese army, had to fight not only for physical survival buffer sanity of mind and wholeness of spirit."
