You are invited to come to the Avalon Library to hear Tom Trumble in conversation with Sandie Docker about his book, Survival in Singapore.

Operation Jaywick – an epic mission that passed into Australia’s national legend – sets in motion a brutal crackdown by Japan’s dreaded military police, the Kempei Tai.
