Two brothers join the British Army to fight in World War Two. One of them is captured when Singapore falls and dies in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. The other sees combat during the Burma campaign and returns home. Forty-five years after the end of the war, they meet again. Set in late 1990, against the backdrop of preparations for the Gulf conflict, 'The Tiger Cage' is about war, memory, family, reconciliation and the price paid by 'The Greatest Generation' during the war and in the years that followed.

I had ample opportunity to ask Dad these questions when he was alive, But it seemed that a million reasons not to do so could always be found. It was a waste of everything Dad had ever seen, done,  and thought about not to hear his answers, and I regret not finding out more about him when I had the chance. Questions for My Father was borne of that regret and has one underlying objective: to develop a blueprint for discovery so that children of any age can start to build a clearer, deeper picture of the man behind the word . -- Vincent Staniforth
