About the Book

From Liverpool to the Far East. From freedom to slavery. From civilisation to barbarism. Join Johnny on his journey from the safety and familiarity of his home in Liverpool to the horrors of the Japanese prisoner of war camps, and back again. The author, Mike Berry, brings to life the tale of his father's suffering and survival and will apprise the reader of the most gruesome, inhumane experiences endured by him and his comrades. When Johnny Came Marching Home is an inspirational story of strength, determination and victory in the harshest conditions, it is a detailed account of the heinous crimes the Japanese committed during World War Two, and it is a reminder to the world that we must never forget.

Review :
"A powerful and moving story from a little-known theatre of the war." Damien Lewis, best-selling author: SAS Brothers in Arms "This is an exceptional journey of grit, determination, and courage that most of us will never have to experience due to the bravery of soldiers like this. " FM Woodrow DCM MBE Former SAS Major and one of the youngest soldiers ever selected for the SAS "Is a heart-stopping account of this decent and courageous man's journey through four tumultuous years. I am really glad that Mike Berry has recorded his father's experiences - shocking though they are - so movingly, as a timely reminder to future generations. Yet for all the horror, this is ultimately an uplifting book owing to the inspiring conduct of its central character. My father knew and liked John Berry, and remained forever thankful to him for taking the pressure off of him when the physical exertions of the Burma Railway became too much. RIP John Berry." Richard Kandler. Author The Prisoner List
