Ballybunion to the River Kwai is the remarkable account of Don Kennedy's harrowing experience as an Irish prisoner of war in Singapore and Thailand from 1942–45. Vividly narrated by Don's son Fergus, this is the first account of an Irish citizen as a POW along the infamous River Kwai, offering fresh insights into a chapter of history that the world presumes it knows. More than a biography, this is a journey through the darkest times to find light and love. It's a story that promises to touch hearts, provoke thought, and, perhaps most importantly, remind us of the enduring strength and resilience of the human spirit.
