The year is 1941, the world is thundering with war, and a great city has been struck by the fires of hatred and destruction. An English schoolboy is separated from his parents and is forced into the infamous concentration camp, Laughua. For three years he fights for survival and, near the end of his imprisonment, witnesses the bombing of Nagasaki.
