Beschrijving

THIS book is the magnificent sequel to Night of the New Moon in which Laurens van der Post described, with such compassion, his brutal captivity in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. On the surrender of the Japanese, he found himself overnight f in the unusual position of having to keep peace in Java through the Japanese who had held him in captivity for three and a half years. The Admiral’s Baby tells vividly, for the first time, this extraordinary episode in the history of the twentieth century.
