Description
Philip Stibbe's account of his experiences training and fighting in the Burmese jungle behind Japanese lines is a powerful and moving story.
Stibbe describes his capture, brutal treatment at the hands of his captors, and his subsequent imprisonment in Rangoon. Despite being reported "Missing Presumed Dead", he miraculously returned to Oxford in 1945, returning to the same room where he had left after Dunkirk.
This edition marks the eightieth anniversary of the first Chindit expedition and provides a unique insight into one of the most remarkable stories of World War II.
