The harrowing true story of the Scottish battalion that spent over three years in Japanese captivity during World War II. Posted to Singapore in 1937 with their families, the members of the 2nd Battalion, Gordon Highlanders found themselves fighting bravely when the Japanese invaded Malaya in December 1941. But by mid-February came the surrender of Singapore, and those who were not killed became POWs. After initial incarceration in Singapore, the Gordons were dispersed to work on the famous Thai-Burma railway, in the mines of Taiwan and Japan, and on other slave labor projects. The conditions they existed under defy modern comprehension. Others died trapped in hell-ships torpedoed by allied submarines. Of the thousand men involved initially, over four hundred had died before liberation in summer 1945. Despite their diverse backgrounds, all the men had been bound by close regimental spirit, and all suffered hard labor, starvation, brutality, and tropical diseases. Rank was no protection from death. The author of this history has researched the plight of these extraordinary men, so many of whom never saw their native Scotland again. Despite the grim conditions, he captures the strong collective regimental spirit and the humor and cooperation that saved so many who would otherwise have perished. This is an inspiring tale of courage and survival against appalling odds.

Uga Azi, an age of destruction and ignorance is here. Alamuo would fall by the sword of the son of her soil, Omenike. Nze Okoye knows that Kambili is among those chosen to destroy Uga Azi and so he had trained her for this time. When Omenike kills Nze Okoye and his wives, he takes Kambili as a captive. But Kambili is rescued by Ikemefuna, the village hero and on their way to a safe camp, they are taken by the Efulefus, slave traders. Kambili is sold to Hubert whose wife, Margaret is so full of vile for Kambili. She overcomes Margaret, ends the evil in the farm and falls in love with Curtis, her master’s son. And now, would Kambili still remember her mission? To rise with the sun in the minds of the future people of Alamuo, to destroy Uga Azi and wake her people?
