Fscinating reading! Thoroughly researched by the author, gathered from some the men and women who actually experienced it. While living in Borneo, downed airmen learn respect for native tribes, who help them survive jungle life AND their Japanese persuers. These same tribespeople become guerilla warriors, learning to use modern weapons against the Japnese invaders.
On several occasions when I planned to take a few minutes to read, relax, I got so drawn into the account that a half-hour had gone by without my noticing. If you enjoy learning about co-operation among people of diverse cultures in a context of global conflict, this one's for you!
