King Rat

When the Japanese captured Singapore in 1942, the Allied POWs, predominantly British but also a few Americans, were detained at Changi jail. There were no walls or barbed-wire fences because there were no escape routes for the captives. Among the detainees is American Cpl. King, a wheeler dealer who has made a comfortable living in the camp. While the majority of convicts are on the verge of hunger and their uniforms are in shambles, King eats well and wears crisp, clean clothes every day. King quickly develops a connection with Lt. Peter Marlowe, a British officer of the upper class who is taken aback by King's élan approach to life.
