Publisher's Synopsis
As an RAF medical officer, Aidan served in France, survived Dunkirk, and was plunged into adventures in the Japanese-American arena. Interned by the Japanese in Java, Dr MacCarthy helped his fellow prisoners with incredible ingenuity. In 1944, en route to the Japanese mainland, his ship was torpedoed, but he was picked up by a whaling boat and re-interned in Japan. While in Nagasaki he was an eyewitness to the horror and devastation of the atom bomb. Finally, he cruised home on board the Queen Mary.
