We Shall Suffer There is the first work that documents the experiences of Hong Kongs prisoners of war and civilian internees from their capture by the Japanese in December 1941 to liberation rescue and repatriation. While the prisonerofwar main camps in Hong Kong itself have been mentioned in many other works there has so far been no definitive chronology of their operation.
