Work Description

Late in life, Lomax learned how to believe in the possibility of hope. By a miracle of coincidence he discovered that his Japanese interrogator was alive, and found out where he was. This unforgettable book describes a life saved from final bitterness by an extraordinary will to remember and forgive.
