KOTA KINABALU: The ordeal of prisoners of war (POWs) walking miles in water-filled boots as a form of torture, confined in tiny bamboo cages and even massacred are all searingly recounted in a new book launched here on Monday (Feb 27).
Titled "The Borneo Graveyard 1941-1945", the 492-page book also describes life during the Japanese occupation, how some Dutch women who helped POWs were gang-raped, and how locals risked their lives to help in secret whenever possible.
