 COFEPOW - South East Asia Under Japanese Occupation - Death in the Spice Islands
One of the major tragedies amongst the horrific stories of the Far East prisoners of war in Japanese hands during the Second World War is that of the drafts from Java to the Molucca Archipelago or 'Spice Islands'.
Perhaps the most pernicious threat to the survival of the prisoners was the presence of the Japanese guard, Gunso (Sergeant) Mori and his sycophantic Korean sidekick and interpreter, Kasiyama.
By November 1943 there were so many sick on Haruku that even the Japanese must have become marginally concerned that they might lose their whole, "workforce" so arrangements were made to remove the sickest men back to Java.

Of the 134 Japanese transports noted by Michino, only five were singled out for special coding and inclusion at the end of a list of Japanese POW camps: Shinyo, Arisan, Oryoku, Enoura, and Brazil, all called "marus." Why only these transports were selected for coding was a mystery.
Japanese lists of POWs provided through the Red Cross were often incomplete and late, if they arrived at all.
The death of Shinyo Maru was duly noted by a Japanese cipher clerk at 1650 hours on September 7, the victim of a "torpedo attack." An intercept of September 10 reported 150 Japanese army casualties.

It is the story of prisoners held by the Japanese during the Second World War.
Many were so scarred by their experiences that afterwards they could not discuss them even with their families.
But some prisoners were determined that posterity should know how they were starved and beaten, marched almost to death or transported on 'hellships', used as slave labour - most notoriously on the Burma-Thailand railway - and how thousands died from tropical diseases.

Surviving the Sword: Prisoners of the Japanese in the Far East, 1942-45
Japanese and Korean guards starved and beat their prisoners; they marched them to the brink of death, transported them on overcrowded and disease-ridden hellships, and used them as slave labor.

The hellships of the title were the Japanese transports that carried western prisoners around the Pacific.
Worse, the author makes the flat statement that most of the PW fatalities were the result of submarine attack, and that if the friendly-fire casualties were taken out, the death rate of Japanese captives was no higher than that of those held by the Germans.
I think what happened here is that he uncovered documents about the sub attacks and was so impressed by its novelty that he warped his book to fit the new stuff.
