Eric Lomax was a prisoner of war, forced to work on the Burma-Siam railway in 1943, and was tortured by the Japanese for making a crude radio. Two years ago he met one of his torturers again. This is the story of their reconciliation.

Reading a new genre - an autobiography. I’m more into fantasy books. But this book captured my attention. It’s about the author (Eric Lomax ), his fascination with railways and radio communications and his experiences as a prisoner of war during World War II. He is forced to help build the Thai–Burma Railway for the Japanese military but is also tortured as it is believed he is a spy. The autobiography details his life after the war and his struggles to come to terms with what happened. I would recommend.
