"On the night of February 15, 1942, the second most stunning event of the Second World War took place; an event that was second only to the Pearl Harbour bombing for its shock effect.
Singapore fell to the Japanese."
Captured after the fall of Singapore in 1942, Capt. M.M. "Mark" Pillai, a decorated officer of the Bombay Sappers, confronted a truth few could endure: the greatest danger of captivity was not barbed wire or starvation, but the slow erosion of hope.
Driven by the conviction that a prisoner's highest duty was to escape, he and two fellow Indian companions embarked on a daring journey to freedom. With little more than determination, a handful of dollars, and the kindness of strangers, they crossed enemy-occupied territories, traversing across Malaya, Siam, and Burma--all while battling hunger, disease, and unforgiving terrain.
3000 Miles to Freedom is a compelling account, simply told and un-embellished. Drawn from Brig. M.M. Pillai's wartime diaries and memoirs, this is the extraordinary true story of courage, resilience, and an unbreakable desire to return home.
