Borneo: Australia's Proud But Tragic Heritage (1999) By Kevin Smith
 
Of 2,030 Australian POWs sent to Borneo after the 1942 surrender at Singapore only 218 survived to return home. The author has followed steadfastly in the footsteps of the Australians who were sent to Sandakan and the 789 of them who were sent in 1945 towards Ranau. He has delved deeply into the extensive archival records and has interviewed persons in both Australia and Borneo who vividly recall some of those events of 1942-45. 
 
Based on extensive research and interviews with people in Borneo and Australia who recall some of the events of 1942-45, the book brings together the scattered evidence of what was happening in Borneo during the desolate years of captivity.
