Fighting in dense jungle and open paddy fields. this brutal campaign was the longest fought by the BritishCommonwealth in the Second world War. But the troops taking part were a forgotten army. and the story of their remakable feats and their courage is told-much of it for the first time- in this remakable new oral history. The author is Julian Thompson.
Agreed, a good book. Well worth packing, if your looking for a holiday read. He has some interesting views on the role of the Chindits. However If you want to read a soldiers view of that conflict, try "All Quartered Safe Out There" by George Macdonald Frasier(Author of the flashman books). Written by a private soldier, who just happened to be one of Britain's greatest storytellers.
