Tomorrow you die : the astonishing survival story of a Second World War prisoner of the Japanese
Coogan, Andy, 1917-2012
Books, Manuscripts
Andy Coogan was born in Glasgow in 1917, the oldest child of poor Irish immigrants. He was tipped for Olympic glory, but a promising running career was interrupted by war service. His capture during the fall of Singapore marked the beginning of a three-and-a-half-year nightmare of starvation, torture and disease. This is his story.
