  • ""Based on the memoirs of Captain Ernest Gordon, To End All Wars recounts the experiences of a disparate band of battle-weary World War II Allied soldiers, plunged into the brutal terror of a Japanese POW camp. Forced to build a railroad through the jungles of Burma and Thailand, the men are driven to revenge, escape and self-preservation. Their captors, cruel head guard Ito and his perpetually drunken superior Captain Noguchi treat all acts of insubordination with brutal retaliation. Gordon establishes a "jungle university" where Plato, Shakespeare, and the Bible provide an ethical basis for their harsh existence. Gordon's superior officer, Ian Campbell, scoffs at the increasingly pacificist bent of Gordon's teachings. Jim Reardon, a lone American running a black market, is equally skeptical. But under the relentless brutality of the camp, the only way for the soldiers to survive is to find what gives their lives meaning. To End All Wars is a harrowing search into the soul of humanity and the human capacity for forgiveness"--Container."
