King Rat

Clavell's adventure novel takes place in a World War II prison camp, Changi, where 8, 000 English, Australian, and American prisoners of war are incarcerated. Left largely to themselves, the prisoners establish a hierarchy of power in which a brutal American corporal, known as King Rat, rises to the top. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
