It was the largest surrender of Allied forces in history led by the Royal British Army―a surrender of 80,000 men including the Indian and Australian forces. This was in addition to the nearly 50,000 men that were captured and imprisoned by the Japanese earlier in the Malayan Campaign. Capt. Coombes was one of the officers taken prisoner at the Fall of Singapore, and he remained incarcerated until the end of the war in 1945. The book describes the inhuman treatment of the prisoners of war at the hands of the Japanese for three and a half years between 1942 and 1945, which led to the torture and deaths of tens of thousands of British, Australian and Indian prisoners of war, and local Malay and Thai civilians. It also brings out some wonderful stories and examples of how the prisoners stuck together to support each other and bringing out the best of human values. The railway line constructed by these prisoners is often referred to as "Death Railway" or the Thai-Burma Railway. This line was built in the River Kwai valley. The bridge built near Tamekam (Tamarkan) was immortalized in the 1957 movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai", which mixes fiction with history. Coombes account brings out the real incidents of the construction of the railway and the bridge. Coombes was an amazing man without a doubt. He was a rising star in the British Army after the World War II and may have attained the heights in his military career which was aborted by an unfortunate incident in Singapore. That incident proved to be a boon for Pakistan. While he was a colonel, he was sidelined in the UK, and Pakistan acquired him to become one of the finest educators who built a great educational institution - Cadet College Petaro - that is established on sound principles and a solid foundation. Unfortunately, his massive achievement in a country that is thousands of miles away from the UK remains unrecognized in his home country.

This book is an ethnographic exploration and general overview of what people believe about the cryptid called Bigfoot, otherwise known in North America as Sasquatch. This anthropological study covers how and what people understand about Bigfoot and cryptozoology, but focuses on the perspective of believers. Those within the Bigfoot subculture have unique cosmologies, views, experiences, and biases that help them learn. understand, and define reality in their own ways, which colors their perspectives and aids them in their narratives to explain the phenomenon.The ethno-historical viewpoint, including Native/First Nations beliefs, are covered in this book, which describes folklore, legends, and myths about these Wildmen of the forest. Included are place-names maps, the 'five types of people', true skeptics, the Parks and Forest Service viewpoint, Bigfoot organizations and their research, cultural geography, the alleged new owner of the PG Film, what people think about physical and anecdotal evidence, the paranormal aspect, PTSD/trauma related incidences, the rhetoric around Bigfoot culture and language/communication, habituation techniques, the Relict Hominoid Inquiry, orang-pendek, Bigfoot in popular culture, as well as a deeper look into the symbolic-cultural projection effect, the pro-kill 'type' of Bigfoot believer, and more.This book is not set out to prove or disprove the existence of Bigfoot and is purposefully neutral in that regard. What the author does look for is the emic (inside) view of what believers believe, plus why and how that happens, presenting a strong cultural aspect behind these beliefs through cultural sharing and enculturation. But this also raises questions as to what people think Bigfoot might be based on eyewitness testimonies, especially in light of physical evidence or personal sighting accounts, and focuses on how people describe their experiences, which sometimes causes a liminal state where they go from 'unbeliever' to becoming a true 'believer'.
