Publisher Description

'A splendidly exciting and original story' Sunday Telegraph

'Terrifyingly exciting suspense' Ian Fleming

Set in Changi, the most notorious prisoner of war camp in Asia, King Rat is an heroic story of survival told by a master story-teller who lived through those years as a young soldier. Only one man in fifteen had the strength, the luck, and the cleverness simply to survive Changi. And then there was King.

'KING RAT is the best novel in English to have come out of Japanese prisoner of war camps . . . James Clavell is a teller of stories. They are complicated and exciting, and you are desperate to know what will happen to his characters because they are like the people you know from your own life and experience, set in strange and sometimes terrible circumstances' John Simpson

Fascinating insight

A great read and a fascinating insight into life in Changi and the impact it had on the behaviours of its POWs.
