One Hell of a Story about Humanity and Inhumanity.\n'There are some books, which once read, you cannot get completely out of your mind. This is one of them. Whether you are just curious, a scholar, military historian or, like me, have a personal connection to this story, you will at once be absorbed.’ Col (ret’d) Marty Slade, RAMC 
In the hours before the Fall of Singapore in February 1942, the British Military Hospital Alexandra found itself isolated in a no-man’s-land between the Japanese and Allied frontlines.\nThis is the definitive account of what happened next, resulting in up to 300 soldier-patients, nurses, orderlies and doctors being killed. Many by bayonet in their beds where they lay prone. Others by bayonet and machine gun after they were removed and held captive overnight in the Sisters’ Quarters outhouse. One even on the operating theatre table awaiting surgery.\nA Bleeding Slaughterhouse examines the characters, causes and culpability of this two-day tsunami of terror.\nThe story-driven narrative is based on first-hand interviews with survivors, and never-seen unpublished memoir notes. And it names the guilty.\n‘I didn’t really think I could escape my awful plight, but I didn’t want to be slaughtered like a sheep. Worse than any nightmare I ever had, worse than the most fearful ordeal I had ever imagined.’ - Sgt Norman Bryer, RAF, survivor.\nOver 40 pages of original maps, illustrations and unpublished photographs.\nSome of the Key Events and Characters featured in this WW2 Singapore 1942 book:

Since Marco Polo returned from China and recorded his epic adventures, the trials and tribulations of expats in Asia have made for colourful telling - and re-telling -the world over. And no one captures it better than 'Hardship Posting'… 
'Hardship Posting' remains on best-seller lists in many Asian markets, having been reprinted 4 times already and selling over 20,000 copies to date. Volume 2 casts the net wider - with twice as many contributors and twice as many cartoons. Pre-orders for Vol.2 exceeded the first 2 print runs of Vol. 1. 
'Hardship Posting' Volume 2 contains a further 400 amusing and amazing anecdotes of ordinary expats in extraordinary situations, compiled and edited by Stuart Lloyd. 
'Hardship Posting is like a greatest hits collection of expat yarns,' says writer and editor, Stuart Lloyd. 'This time round we've got stories going back to post-war Japan, and many more about the colourful 60's and 70's period. It's a warts-and-all expose of expat misadventure - so if someone's idea of rabble-rousing is spilling some champagne on their suit in the cigar bar of a 5-star hotel, this book is probably not for them!' adds Lloyd. 
Lloyd himself spent 13 years in Asia but has once again co-opted Old Asia Hand and barstool philosopher, Colonel Ken Oathe, to add his politically incorrect narration and humorous perspective. Col. Ken also hosts the book's popular website.
