I have often heard about POWs surviving in camps using their Scout knowledge and skills to keep themselves and others alive. Alistair takes you on a journey from happy young Scout in Scotland to suffering utter brutality at the hands of Japanese soldiers half a world away and back home again. Easy, compelling read. It confirms my passion for Scouting, how it builds character in youth, and teaches them skills for life.
