| Publisher Description: Born In Borneo is the memoir of Inge Koch, who was born in 1921 to German parents who owned rubber plantations in the Dutch East Indies. The book chronicles her years growing up in an exotic area, and her friendships and contacts with people of many different nationalities and stations in life. Inge Koch was interned with other German citizens in a Dutch camp when Germany invaded Holland in 1940. She then was transferred to Shanghai, China, where she remained until the end of the war. After living several years in Australia, she married the American soldier she had met in China. She emigrated to the United States in 1949. This book descibes the adventures and trials she experienced during her first 28 years. |
