The Tiger Cage Vincent Staniforth

Two brothers join the British Army to fight in World War Two. One of them is captured when Singapore falls and dies in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. The other sees combat during the Burma campaign and returns home. Forty-five years after the end of the war, they meet again. Set in late 1990, against the backdrop of preparations for the Gulf conflict, ?The Tiger Cage? is about war, memory, family, reconciliation and the price paid by ?The Greatest Generation? during the war and in the years that followed.
