Behind the Burma Road

287 pp. "This is the story of the most successful guerilla operation ever carried out by U.S. forces. Operating in twos and threes, never more than 848 strong, Detachment 101 killed or wounded over 15,000 crack Japanese jungle troops, destroyed outposts, trains and bridges, and opened the way for Stilwell's Chinese forces, Wingate's Raiders, Merrill's Marauders, and the great counter-attack against the Japanese Imperial life-line."--rear wrapper
