"Researching McCarthy's Bar Pete McCarthy entered MacCarthy's Bar in Castletownbere, west Cork. During his visit Adrienne MacCarthy gave him a copy of A Doctor's War, her father's wartime memoir. The next night Pete found it 'unputdownable' and told her it was eminently worthy of republication." "As an RAF medical officer, Aidan had served in France, survived Dunkirk, and was plunged into adventures in the Japanese-American arena comparable with those of famous war heroes. Interned by the Japanese in Java, Dr. MacCarthy helped his fellow prisoners with incredible ingenuity in appalling conditions. In 1944, en route to the Japanese mainland, his ship was torpedoed but in Japanese whaling boat picked him up and he was re-interned in Japan. While in Nagasaki his life was literally saved by the dropping of the atom bomb and he was an eyewitness to the horror and devastation it caused. Finally, he cruised home on board the Queen Mary."--BOOK JACKET.
