This autobiography describes one of the worst but least documented refugee tragedies of World War II. Tens of thousands of civilians perished on the dreaded Hukwang Valley trail, dubbed later by the American General Stilwell as 'the path to hell'. Colin's extraordinary journey takes him from his birthplace in Burma to Britain, and on to Bowral in NSW.

"White Butterflies is his autobiography. It is an inspiring and candid account of a young boy's wartime struggle for survival, his journey to manhood and the characters and dark secrets he encountered during his quest for a place in the world."
About the Author:
Colin McPhedran survived the WW11 invasion of Burma as a young boy. He spent four years in India, a short time in Britain and then migrated to Australia, where he raised a family and lived peacefully in Bowral, New South Wales until his death in 2010.
