The Brave Japanese (1966, 1968) By Kenneth Harrison
 
Lance Sergeant Kenneth Ignatius Harrison (25 August 1918 – 1982) was an Australian anti-tank non-commissioned officer who fought in the Malayan Campaign. He was eventually captured by the Japanese, becoming a prisoner of war held initially at Changi in Singapore. When the war ended he was among the first foreigners to enter Hiroshima. After the war he became an author, writing about his experiences.
 
In 1965, Harrison authored his memoir The Brave Japanese (also known as The Road to Hiroshima) which became a useful sourcebook for POW studies and scholars for some aspects of the Malayan Campaign. The NUS Press, the academic printing press of the National University of Singapore, cited his work in Asian Labor in the Wartime Japanese Empire (2006). Harrison was honored in his own country with a public park and achieved regional renown as a speaker on POW and ANZAC issues. His memoir was first published in 1966 titled The Brave Japanese. The title drew considerable criticism both within Australia and abroad. In 1983 it was re-released as The Road to Hiroshima and then re-released in 2000 and on the internet in 2010 by his son, Guy Harrison, as The Brave Japanese.
