This month we will be discussing The Adventures of Eddie Fung: Chinatown Kid, Texas Cowboy, Prisoner of War. Eddie Fung has the distinction of being the only Chinese-American soldier to be captured by the Japanese during World War II. He was then put to work on the Burma-Siam railroad, which was made famous by the film The Bridge on the River Kwai. In this moving memoir, Eddie recalls how he went from San Francisco's Chinatown to reinventing himself as a Texas cowboy before going overseas with the U.S Army.
