Description
"In March 1944, some 2,200 men of the 111 Brigade flew from India into northern Burma, landing on improvised airstrips cleared from the jungle. They were ... sent to fight the Japanese deep behind their lines. Five months later, 111 Brigade was down to 118 fit men -- eight British officers, a score of British soldiers and ninety Gurkhas. One of the officers was Frank Baines ... His account throws new light on the leadership and conduct of Chindit operations but, above all, it is a soldier's story ... This ... narrative evokes ... what it was like to be in the jungles and hills that devoured nearly all the men of the 111 Brigade"--Jacket.
