Sober, well-told story of one Australian's experience in the defense of Malaya and his subsequent 3 years or so as a POW. It is well written and the story itelf is riveting. There have been many previous reviewers who have wondered about the title. Sarcastic? Ironic? Foolish? Naive?  I would say none of the above. He saw the Japanese guards and soldiers around him for what they were: given the utterly foreign set of values and standards,  they were in fact brave, loyal, and dedicated to their cause.  Read it; you'll get it.
