I had to force myself to put this book down and go to bed. Once I started in, I couldn't put this book down. This is a soldier's story, not a history lesson. Anyone looking for a treatise on jungle warfare, or the conduct of the War in Burma will have to look elsewhere. This book tells the story of one young man's experience in Burma, the section, squad to American readers, he served with, how they lived, their interactions with each other, and sadly, how many of them died. This is an honest, up close and personal account of the face of war. There's no romance, no heroics, no holding forth on the virtues of the British soldier as opposed to the Japanese soldier, just a frank and unflinching look at what the author saw and experienced.This is a must read for anyone with any delusions of revisionist history of World War II in Asia.

I've long enjoyed Fraser's Flashman novels and his stories of life as a subaltern in the Second Battalion of the Gordon Highlanders immediately after the end of the Second World War. This wonderful book takes us into the war, and into the China-Burma-India Theatre, about which many Americans, including myself, know comparatively little.It's a complex book, certainly not glorifying war, but demonstrating how, as a crucible, the experience of war can shape a man. The writing has all of Fraser's well-known gifts: wit, fascinating characterizations, and wonderfully descriptive narratives of actual events. He ably explains the workings of a Section (Squad, in our army.) of British troops during the war. The reader meets his fellow soldiers, and suffers when, just as they are becoming known, they begin to be killed, either in action, or in one case through a horrible misadventure.Also valuable is Fraser's opinion that today's U.K. is not necessarily the U.K. that he and his mates fought for. He clearly disapproves of the direction in which the U.K. has been taken. He also has a thorough dislike of the modern penchant of the media for going to great lengths to discover the feelings of soldiers who return from action in modern theatres of war. He opines that he and his mates were fortunate at the end of WW II because at that time there were no counselors. He believes, and I don't necessarily disagree, that a person's feelings are private and that people are entitled to keep them to themselves. He posits that they are indeed better off if they do.I can't do this book justice in a review that is actually short enough to bother reading. All I know is that I'm a bit different for having read it. I also believe I now have a better understanding of my father, who fought as an infantryman at Leyte, Luzon, and Okinawa. For me, this was a very valuable read. For anyone who wishes to have a better understanding of the enlisted man's experience of combat, I highly recommend it.

This is a wonderful memoir of a young soldier fighting in the Burma campaign at the tail end of WW II. Of course, as someone who fell in love with the Flashman series of historical novels many decades ago, anything with Mr. Fraser's name on it will get my attention.My own father, now gone, was just about his age during the last year of the war in Europe. He arrived in Normandy early on D-Day, via a glider that landed in a flooded field. With the exception of himself and two others, everyone in the glider drowned. His war continued with from that point, to the day when he was wounded (for the 2nd time) towards the end of the Battle of the Bulge. Unlike Mr. Fraser, my father was never comfortable describing in any ordered way his experiences during that year. But I get the strong feeling that if he had been so inclined, and had the skill and insight that Mr. Fraser demonstrates in this book, he would have told a story much like the one presented here. I'm an old timer today, but I certainly feel privileged to have shared this story with Mr. Fraser

I thought this book was a very unusual and awesome look at what it is like to be a grunt in Burma. Loved that part. For me I would not have bought the book had I know there was so much 'dialect' writing of which I could hardly understand. Perhaps if you were Scottish, Irish or English it would be easier but for me (an American) it was very difficult to get though and understand what they were staying. In general I thought the author had a great sense of humor & I liked his plain spokeness. No apologies and good insights. I would have given it more stars but it was just too hard for me to make out the dialects. Bless these men, they really were great!
