About the author
Sam Roggeveen
Sam Roggeveen is Program Director of the Lowy Institute’s International Security Program. He is the author of The Echidna Strategy: Australia's Search for Power and Peace (Opens in new window), published by La Trobe University Press in 2023.
The Railway Man is the story of a former British POW who tracks down the Japanese officer who tortured him. It's a moving trailer on a subject that could hardly be more relevant to the Australian Defence Force and many other armed forces, that of the trauma suffered by returning soldiers.
