Now a major motion picture starring Robert Carlyle and Kiefer Sutherland
"Waking from a dream, I suddenly realized where I was: in the Death House--in a prison camp by the River Kwai. I was a prisoner of war, lying among the dead, waiting for the bodies to be carried away so that I might have more room."
When Ernest Gordon was twenty-four he was captured by the Japanese and forced, with other British prisoners, to build the notorious "Railroad of Death," where nearly 16,000 prisoners of war gave their life. Faced with the appalling conditions of the prisoners' camp and the brutality of the captors, he survived to become an inspiring example of the triumph of the human spirit against all odds.
To End All Wars is Ernest Gordon's gripping true story behind both the Academy Award-winning film The Bridge on the River Kwai, starring Alec Guinness, and the new film To End All Wars, directed by David Cunningham.

HäpnadsväckandeInspirerandeEn sanslös berättelse om överlevnad. Så välskriven, rå och full av hopp att jag inte ville att den skulle ta slut. Enda minus: den är inläst på amerikanska av en man med en röst jag hade mycket svårt att stå ut med. Mitt tips - spela in den med skotsk accent och även andra accenter som kan behövas. Då hade den varit värd en klar femma.
