New on Gwulo: 2018, week 33 - Part 2

Submitted by David on Sun, 08/19/2018 - 12:25

Here's the second half of the summer update:

A book I've been waiting for impatiently is finally available: Barbara Anslow's wartime diaries are now available in print, under the title Tin Hats and Rice.

Barbara had just had her 23rd birthday when the Japanese attacked Hong Kong in 1941. Her diary follows her through the battle & surrender, the long internment, and the eventual liberation in 1945.
