But Singapore is already falling. Diverted to Java, MacCarthy finds himself in the middle of the Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies - treating the wounded under fire, stopped at gunpoint by Japanese paratroopers in the jungle, and retreating through terrain that throws tiger cubs, crocodiles, and coconut-throwing monkeys at his convoy in equal measure. Then comes the moment they had all been dreading. The Japanese walk into their mountain position without a shot being fired. The dream of resistance is over. Captivity has begun.Episode Five coming soon.
