94 - Alistair Urquhart - How He Survived The Atomic Bomb, 3 Years of Captivity, and A Shipwreck

I read “The Forgotten Highlander: An Incredible WWII Story of Survival in the Pacific"

Alistair Urquhart was a Scottish born soldier in WW2 who was a prisoner of war under the Imperial Japanese Army for several years. He endured immense suffering working on the Death Railway along the River Kwai, survived a shipwreck followed by several days alone at sea, and was hit by the atomic bomb blast in Nagasaki.

He lived a long and fruitful life, moving on at the age of 97 years old. In this book, he recounts the unfathomable tragedies he endured, how endured them, and how he used those experiences to live a long and rich life.

His is one of the most inspiring stories I've ever read.
