Publication Date: 20/11/2008
The physical conditions of jungle warfare and the closeness of contact with the enemy pose unique problems and call for special soldiering skills. Colonel John Cross, a life long Gurkha officer, has an unrivalled knowledge of this demanding warfare and uses it to best advantage in this instructive yet personal account of techniques and experiences. He uses examples from British and Japanese sides in the Second World War and goes on to demonstrate how tactics and strategy developed in the Malay, Borneo and Indo-China theatres thereafter. He laces his work with vivid recollections and assessments of friend and foe along with entertaining anecdotes from a wide range of sources. This excellent book offers a perfect blend of factual military history and personal recollection and the reader gains a unique insight into this most challenging form of warfare. SELLING POINTS: Fighting in the jungle against an unseen enemy has a particular mystique and fascination. Written by one of the world's most expereinced jingle fighters, this is both informative and exciting. Draws on his and other's experiences in the Second World War, Indo-China, Vietnam and the Borneo Confrontation. Illustrated
