'It made Changi seem like heaven.'

This is the little known story of Singapore's Outram Road Gaol and the POWs who endured it. Deprivation here was so extreme that there really was a fate worse than death.

Powerful and shocking, Stubborn Buggers tells of twelve Australian POWs who fought and survived the battle for Malaya, then captivity and slave labour, followed by the unimaginable hardships of Outram Road Gaol. It is a story of how they dealt with the brutality of the Japanese military police, the feared Kempeitai. And it is the story of how they found a way to go on living even when facing a future of no hope and slow death.

But Stubborn Buggers is about more than suffering and brutality. It is also a tale of grit, determination and larrikin humour. It is very much about the triumph of the human spirit.
