Search - List of Books by Eric Lomax
Eric Sutherland Lomax (born 1919) was a British Army officer who was sent to a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in 1942. He is most famous for writing a book, The Railway Man (ISBN 0-09-958231-7), on his experience before, during, and after the war, which won the 1996 NCR Book Award and the J. R. Ackerley Prize for Autobiography.
Lomax was commissioned into the Royal Corps of Signals in 1940. He was a Lieutenant when captured, and was promoted Captain after his release. He was mentioned in despatches for his service while in captivity.
John McCarthy, a journalist who was held hostage for five years, described Lomax's book as "an extraordinary story of torture and reconciliation".
