About ONE FOURTEENTH OF AN ELEPHANT – A memoir of life and death on the Burma – Thailand Railway

In February 1942, Singapore fell to the Japanese and Denys Peek was among the tens of thousands of British and Commonwealth soldiers and citizens taken prisoner. Eight months later, he and countless other PoWs were packed into steel goods wagons and transported by rail to Siam – their destination the massive construction project that would become infamous as the Burma Thailand Railway. He would spend the next three years in over 15 different work and ‘hospital’ camps on the railway, stubbornly refusing to give up in a place where over 20,000 prisoners of war (an innumerable slave labourers) met their deaths. Written with clarity, passion and a remarkable eye for detail, Denys Peek’s memoir recalls not just the hardships and horrors of the railway, the daily struggle for survival, but also the comradeship, spirit and humour of the men who worked on it.It stands as a haunting, evocative and deeply moving testimony to the suffering of those who lived and died there – a salutary reminder of man’s potential for inhumanity to his fellow man.
