SUNSET OVER JAVA is the story of a boy whose life was radically changed in the prison camps on Java during World War II. Not all of his family survived. After the Japanese surrender in 1945, he expected to be re-united with his family and to return home. Instead, he found that a violent Indonesia Revolution was taking hold. The murders of numerous camp survivors forced the evacuation of all Dutch civilians. As a result, he and his family experienced the sunset of their way of life on Java. His interrupted education and the patchwork of schooling in Holland and Washington, DC, resulted in poor grades and caused him to reject all thoughts of going to college. A stint in the US Army began his personal turnaround. With the help of family and new friends, good fortune, and determination to make up for lost years, he was surprised to find himself at Harvard at age 23.

It is the true story of a young Dutch boy and his family who were held captive by the Japanese during World War II on the island of Java. The family was ripped apart and sent to separate prison camps where they endured illness and near starvation before being released in August 1945.This is an historical account of tragedy and loss during WW II, but it is also a riveting story of amazing strength, triumph and victory that is well worth reading.

The details of the war's history in that part of the world was somewhat new to me and that, combined with how the author survived and then thrived in his life after concentration camps, the loss of his mother, interrupted education, etc. was truly remarkable and inspirational. Great photos and drawings that bring his experience to life. Highly recommended.

Excellent Read By Kenneth R.Samuelson Jack de Vries' life journey described so well in Sunset Over Java, is one of good times for awhile, sudden devastating changes during WW II, despair and survival. His inspiring story is one of overcoming unusual obstacles and eventual success in a Wall Street career. I recommend it especially for those interested in a part of WW II history in the Dutch East Indies that is sometimes overlooked. Ken Samuelson.
