Description:
On Christmas Day, 1941, Hong Kong fell to the Japanese army, and George Wright-Nooth became their prisoner. This is his shocking story, captured in a secret diary kept at great risk. What unfolds is the horrifying tale of near starvation, cruel beatings, and massacres. The term "turnip heads" comes from the Cantonese; it is the nickname that the Chinese call the Japanese, their longtime enemies.
