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.
