Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Trevor Winslow’s narration is as somber as the story he tells. His deep, measured voice perfectly complements Colonel Owtram’s account of unimaginable hardships endured over 1000 days. The audiobook’s pacing, slow but deliberate, mirrors the torturous passage of time in captivity. Yet, while the narrative is compelling, some listeners might find the repetitiveness of daily routines a bit tedious. Production quality is top-notch, with clear sound and well-organized chapters that enhance comprehension. Owtram's recounting of his encounters with fellow prisoners and Japanese guards offers a unique insight into World War II’s lesser-known prisoner-of-war camps.
