Description: Please read item description THE ADMIRAL'S BABY (LAURENS VAN DER POST) This book is the magnificent sequel to ‘Night of the New Moon’ in which Laurens van der Post described, with such compassion, his brutal captivity in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. On the surrender of the Japanese, he found himself overnight in the unusual position of having, single-handed, to keep peace in Java – supported only by the Japanese who, but a short time before, had meted out such brutal treatment to him and his fellow prisoners.
