A Boy`s War

Price: £ 3.99

Product Description

David Michell was at Chefoo School in China when the Japanese took students and staff captive. His parents were Australian missionaries working with the China Inland Mission (now OMF).

What might have been simply a tale of agonising separation of a schoolboy from his parents - a separation that spanned six years and included war, danger, malnutrition, and tragedy - is a story that lights up with adventure, ingenuity, heroism and hope. The unquenchability of the human spirit under extreme pressure and the influence of godly faith and sacrificial example in hard circumstances shine through. This is more an account of children and their struggles and adventures than the atrocities of a deathcamp.

The book also includes glimpses of Olympic Gold Medallist Eric Liddell, a teacher at Chefoo School.
