Forgotten Heroes was Michael Bentinck's second book. It was written as a response to the hundreds of letters that Michael received from readers all over the country who had read Michael's first book, My Dad My Hero. Those readers urged Michael to "Tell it as it really was!"

Forgotten Heroes tells the stories of six more soldiers who became prisoners at the hands, and mercy, of the Japanese during World War Two. All of these stories give a horrific account of what life was like as a prisoner of the Japanese during World War Two. We also receive an insight into what life was like for some of the families left at home who were left not knowing if their husbands or fathers were still alive.

The book also contains photographs which have come from the private collections of the men featured in the book. The final chapter of the book features just a few of the many thousands of letters Michael Bentinck received after writing My Dad My Hero. The letters give an emotional and chilling insight into how the experiences of the men who served in the Far East affected them and their families then and, in most cases, still does to this day.

Forgotten Heroes contains 160 pages, including a letters section and many photographs.
