A Thousand Cups of Rice by Kyle Thompson, is an intimate account of what happened to this American teenager when he and his battalion of field artillery men were captured early in the war, and spent three and one half years under the heel of Imperial Japanese Army. This small group of mostly Texas National Guardsmen along with hundreds of thousands of Allied POWs and Asian coolie laborers were forced to undergo inhuman mental and physical stress while constructing the 265-mile "Death Railway" through the jungles of Burma and Thailand, and before it was completed in late 1943, more than 100,000 of them had been killed or died of horrible diseases. The heartless Asian monsoon contributed to these deaths, but mostly they were caused by long hours of hard labor, an extreme shortage of food, and little or no medical treatment for the numerous jungle diseases that struck these laborers.
