Item description from seller

Some creasing to spine. No signatures. Some foxing.; 162 pages. Fiction. Page dimensions: 177 x 106mm. Cover art by Col Cameron. "The Japanese stormed Manila and young Delma Tracy became the victim of the rapacious conquerors" - from front cover. "Conditions in the over-crowded women's section of the Santo Tomas concentraion camp were appalling. Rations were non-existent. Women - with no possessions but the clothes they wore - fought for a few feet of sleeping space on bare floors." - from blurb on rear cover. This title is #34 in the publisher's "John Slater" single author series. This was the last title to be published with the imprint "Horwitz Publications". From #35, the publishers used the imprint "Scripts". Scripts was a publishing imprint of Horwitz. [References: Flanagan (1994) "Australian Vintage Paperback Guide", pp. 96, 99; see also the blog by John Harrison (2007) "The Lurid War Paperbacks of Horwitz Publications" accessed July 2020) - "The sadistic war paperbacks published by Horwitz exist in a strange, unique twilight world all of their own. While publishers in the US (Monarch) and the UK (Badger) produced war paperbacks with rough plots and provocative cover art, none were as intrinsically mean spirited as the Horwitz titles, which focused - or to be more precise, wallowed - almost solely on the cruel torture and punishments which the Nazi and Japanese powers handed out to civilians (in particular, comely young females) and the Allied armies during the 1939 - 1945 world war."].…
