Synopsis of The Pride and the Anguish

En noviembre de 1941, el teniente Ralph Trewin llega a Singapur como segundo al mando del cañonero de poco calado, H.M.S. Porcupine. Para Trewin, aún conmocionado por las heridas recibidas durante la evacuación de Creta, el cañonero y sus cinco consortes ancianos parecen simbolizar la ignorancia y el optimismo ciego que encuentra en Singapur. El capitán del Porcupine es tan reacio como el resto a prestar atención a la alarma de Trewin, ya que para él el cañonero representa su última oportunidad. Al mes siguiente, los japoneses invaden Malaya. En tres meses, Singapur, la fortaleza inexpugnable, conoce la humillación de la rendición. A través de la miseria y la desesperación de esta sangrienta campaña, Trewin y su capitán se ven obligados a recurrir a las creencias y debilidades del otro, y juntos convierten al pequeño cañonero en un símbolo de valentía y orgullo.
