Richard Flanagan wrote a book titled The Narrow Road to the Deep North. It is a novel, based on real events, that describes the building of a Japanese railroad by prisoners-of-war through the jungles between Thailand and Burma. It became known as the "death railway" because 100,000 slave laborers died during its construction. The main character in the book is an Australian medical doctor named Dorrigo Evans who says that it's impossible to convey "the suffering, the sorrow, the abject pathetic pointlessness of such immense suffering by so many."
