Authored by Alistair Urquhart, 'Forgotten Highlander' is a powerful memoir detailing his experiences as a Scottish soldier captured by the Japanese during World War II. Urquhart recounts the brutal conditions of forced labor on the Burma Railway, the horrors of the Bridge on the River Kwai, and his survival on a 'hell ship' that was torpedoed, culminating in his witnessing the aftermath of the Nagasaki atomic bomb. It is a testament to extraordinary human endurance and resilience.

This is a clear and direct mention of a specific book. The author's name is slightly misspelled in the conversation but identifiable."
