Simon & Schuster. Paperback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, The Colonel of Tamarkan: Philip Toosey and the Bridge on the River Kwai (New edition), Julie Summers, Alec Guinness won a Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of the dogmatic, but brittle commanding oicer in David Lean's film "The Bridge on the River Kwai". While a brilliant performance, it owed more to fiction than fact, as the man who actually commanded the POWs ordered to build the infamous bridges - there were in fact two: one wooden, one concrete - was cut from very dierent cloth. Lieutenant Colonel Philip Toosey was the senior oicer among the 2,000-odd Allied servicemen incarcerated in Tamarkan prison camp, and as such, had to comply with the Japanese orders to help construct their Thailand-Burma railway. With malnutrition, disease and brutality, their constant companions, it was a near-impossible task for soldiers who had already endured terrible privations - and one, which they knew would be in the service of their enemy. But, under Toosey's careful direction, a subtle balancing act between compliance and subversion, the Allied inmates not only survived but regained some sense of self-respect. Re-creating the story of this remarkable leader, with tremendous skill and narrative flair, and drawing on many original interviews with Second World War POWs from the Asian theatre, "The Colonel Of Tamarkan" is a riveting blend of biography and history.

An engineer by make the pilgrimage profession, he is acknowledged by both academics to the bridge on the and ex-POWs as one of the world’s foremost ex- perts on the railway. He says the World War II River Kwai. But what Museum is “just awful … absolute rubbish”. they’re shown there In fact, most of what people think they know is far from being about the Burma Railway and the bridge on the River Kwai is mistaken.

  • The Bridge on the River Kwai (The Reception of the Bridge on the River Kwai Among Former Far East Prisoners of War)
    Why Former POWs and their families hate and love The Bridge on the River Kwai (The Reception of The Bridge on the River Kwai among Former Far East Prisoners of War) by Robin Rowland David Lean Centenary Conference, Queen Mary University, London, July 25, 2008 Revised October 25, 2008 1 Rowland The Reception of The Bridge on the River Kwai Copyright © 2008 Robin Rowland Please notify author before citing at [email protected] The reception of The Bridge on the River Kwai among former Far East Prisoners of War. Rather dry, but you have to admit it's an appropriate title for a conference at a university. Actually the title I originally proposed was “Why Former POWs and their families hate and love The Bridge on the River Kwai.” Why hate? Why love? Norman Spencer, who can't be here today, was kind enough to phone me, despite his illness and let me do some fact checking. Spencer says, and he is right, that the once a movie project is approved, the production team then goes ahead and does the best job it can to produce a good movie. He says, “it's a dramatic presentation, not a documentary.”1 There have been complaints about inaccurate portrayals in the movies since the first days of the silent era. That's never going to change. The Bridge on the River Kwai was released in the United Kingdom on October 2, 1957. From that day until the Academy Awards on March 26, 1958, when the movie won seven Oscars, events created a situation I believe is unique in motion picture history.

As their train traversed the wooden bridges and viaducts built by their counterparts, they passed the construction camps where the POWs in Thailand anxiously awaited their own redeployment back to base camps. When they entered Tamarkan, they found a well-ordered camp with a lean-to theatre left by the previous occupants. Backstory: October 1942–November 1943 Tamarkan was “the bridge camp”—the one made famous by David Lean’s film The Bridge on the River Kwai, based on the novel by Pierre Boulle.i There were, in fact, two bridges built at Tamarkan: first a wooden one for pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic that served as a temporary railway trace until the permanent concrete and steel railway bridge could be completed just upriver of it.

The Second World War was a time of increased contacts for ordinary Britons with peoples of different race, ethnicity and nationality. This thesis explores these novel interactions primarily through the eyes of the other ranks of the 18th Division, who set sail from Britain in the latter part of 1941 and arrived in Singapore shortly before it was overwhelmed by the Japanese Imperial Army, in February 1942. They subsequently endured three and a half years in captivity, the severity of which was such that a quarter of them never returned.

  • Peter Neville Davies, 1927-2020
    The death of Peter Davies at the age of 92 after a short illness marks the end of a life-time commitment to the business and maritime history of Merseyside and of the wider world, including West Africa and Japan. Apart from periods spent abroad, whether undertaking research or as a visiting professor at two Japanese universities (Musashi, Tokyo and Hiroshima Shudo), he remained a member of staff at the University of Liverpool from his original appointment as Tutor in 1964, being awarded a personal chair in the Department of Economic and Social History in 1991, shortly before his retirement in 1993 when he became an Emeritus Professor. For ten years, he served as Head of Department. He continued to be research active for around 25 more years; was a stalwart supporter of the Centre for Port and Maritime History; and remained President of ESHGOM (Economic and Social History Grumpy Old Men) until his death, only ever missing a single meeting. Today, such a total commitment to a University is unusual, but Peter’s career was exceptional in three ways. First, Peter was a product of the ‘Liverpool School of Maritime History’, at a time when it was the foremost centre for research in this field in the country. Led by Francis Hyde, the Chaddock Professor of Economic History, and ably supported by colleagues, including Sheila Marriner (whose work never received the credit it deserved), they made significant contributions to the development of maritime business history with detailed studies of some of the port’s most successful shipping companies and founded in 1958 the pioneering journal Business History.

Southern Command in late January 1945 as a place to house captive Allied POW officers. As the war turned against the Japanese, there was growing concern that these officers might lead their men in a breakout.1 To forestall such a possibility, all the POW officers—even those from as far away as Saigon in French Indochina [Vietnam]—were ordered sent to Kanburi/051 Kilo, a camp just north of Kanchanaburi in western Thailand. Under the repressive and vindictive policies of the I. J. A. commandant at Kanburi, the POWs’ integrity and fortitude would be tested to the utmost—in no area more so than their struggle to provide some sort of life-sustaining entertainment for themselves. Lieutenant Louis Baume, one of the junior officers imprisoned in Kanburi, would call this struggle the “battle for concerts.”2 Whether published or unpublished, the records kept by POWs at Kanburi all suffer from similar deficiencies.
