The book, Death Railway (Human Conflict No. 3) tells the true story behind the Japanese building of a railway through the jungles of Thailand with impressed Asian laborers and captured American and British sailors and soldiers.  "Death Railway (Human Conflict No. 3)" reveals how 12,000 Allied prisoners of war were to die from illness and maltreatment on the Burma-Siam Railway.  After building this railway, those who survived the scourges of the camps including illness and starvation rations watched helpless as the Allied bombs began to fall on the results of their slave labor, the Burma-Siam Railway.  To most individuals that were not present in Thailand during World War II, their knowledge of this story begins and ends with the epic motion picture Bridge On The River Kwai.  While this motion picture captured some of the hardships experienced by the impressed Asian laborers and Allied prisoners tasked with building a fictitious railway bridge in the jungles of Thailand, it only scratched the surface of the realities of building the Burma-Siam Railway.  The major sections of "Death Railway (Human Conflict No. 3)" are as follows: 1) Introduction; 2) Defending an Empire; 3) White coolies; 4) Prelude to the struggle; 5) 'Speedo'; 6) Reorganization; 7) Impermanent way; 8) Deliverance and 9) Bibliography.  In addition to an informative narrative, "Death Railway (Human Conflict No. 3)" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 93 black and white photographs; 2) 3 black and white illustrations and 3) 3 maps.  This book is 160 pages and is in very good condition.  The author is Clifford Kinvig with Russell Braddon (Introduction).  Edition published in 1973.
