Description
The Chindit: A Story of Survival and Bravery Behind Enemy Lines In 1943, Major-General Orde Wingate launched a daring raid on the Japanese Army in Burma. This was just the beginning of a campaign of guerrilla operations that would push the enemy to its limits. Cipher Officer Richard Rhodes James was part of this hidden army, and his story is one of survival against all odds. Deep in the Burmese jungle, James and his fellow Chindits were marshalled and trained to fight behind enemy lines. Their mission was to hit the invaders where it hurt most - their own supply lines. With no prisoners taken and a relentless enemy, the Chindits' actions would lay the foundations for turning the tide of the war in the East. This is a story of bravery, sacrifice, and tactical brilliance, as one man chronicles his experiences with a band of brothers fighting for survival against a formidable foe.
