The author, William Williams, became pastor at Upton Chapel, Lambuth, in 1877. He was a close friend of C. H. Spurgeon. In his introduction to the book, Williams stated, “I do not propose to write another life of Mr. Spurgeon. I propose writing of the great preacher as I knew him, and as I saw him, under a great variety of circumstances and conditions; giving, I trust, no offence in anything, that this ministry be not blamed. I hope in the ensuing chapters each reader may participate to some extent in the joy I experienced when in company with one of the master minds and most gracious characters of this or indeed of any age.” Williams also complied a book of sermons: Upton Chapel Sermons. A Centenary Memorial, which was published in 1885. Charles Haddon Spurgeon wrote the Foreword.

The Imperial Japanese Army deployed hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers across the islands across the Southwest Pacific. As the Allied island-hopping campaign encircled Japan, thousands of Japanese soldiers were cut off from their command and were presumed killed-in-action. Faced with a desperate decision between dying in suicidal charges and going into hiding, most Japanese soldiers chose suicide. The holdouts, on the other hand, chose to live, even if that meant suffering deprivation, hardship and shame. Most of the holdouts gradually emerged from hiding during the late 1940s and 1950s. A few holdouts—the most famous of the lot—only came down from the mountains ten to thirty years after the war. The legacy of the holdouts is a complicated one. It would easy to dismiss men like Yokoi, Onoda and Nakamura as fanatic soldiers, or simply deluded men. That simply was not the case, as this book will show.
