faithful record of the Lisbon Maru incident

A FAITHFUL RECORD OF THE LISBON MARU INCIDENT translates an original Chinese publication covering an important chapter in Hong Kong's wartime history, with additional material and commentary. It gives details of the Lisbon Maru Incident of 1942, seen through the eyes of the Chinese fishermen who rescued hundreds of British prisoners of war from Hong Kong, whose ship had been torpedoed. A Faithful Record also recounts the visit to Zhoushan in 2005 of one of the survivors and his emotional reunion with those who saved him. It also describes a visit to Hong Kong in the same year of the last few remaining fishermen who had taken part in the rescue.
