This was such a fascinating book. I very rarely hear points of view from the second World War from people outside of Europe and North America. It was fascinating to hear about insight from someone from New Zealand.

Bernard Harris was already wounded in Corinth, Greece, when a German soldier shot him point blank in the face, destroying his left eye. He spent the next few years in POW hospital camps. A musician, he managed to form an orchestra to entertain the other prisoners. Many of them were amputees or blinded.
This is an interesting look at life for wounded POWs. Harris does not delve deep into the horrors of war prison life, although one camp was so bad he contracted typhoid. His narrative ends when he was repatriated, but his daughter gives a brief account of his later life.
I received a free copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
