Description
The final Japanese attack had begun a mile or so away, its fiery arcs streaming across the sky in red, yellow, and orange. Flares splashed out, their whiteness gleaming brighter than the moon as they sank slowly to earth. Amidst the deep clamor of explosives, the howl of Japanese infantry could be heard, piercing eardrums like a glacier wind. In October 1941, young Alan Mart was posted to India and taken under the wing of acting captain Sam Holl. Deployed to Malaya following the Japanese advance on Singapore, the men were about to face a searing and shattering depiction of war's futility. This book is a quietly devastating portrayal of the horrors of conflict, set against the backdrop of World War II in Southeast Asia.
