The Night Of The New Moon

Summary

This book is the remarkable story of his experiences in the prison camp, but it is also a meditation on the morality of the Bomb, a compassionate and moving contemplation of human violence.

Reviews

  • Deserves to be placed among the short list of distinguished books to be written out of the experience of captivity in the last war. It is a classic.
