The Sword and the Jungle

Description

Having escaped from Singapore the day before it fell to the Japanese, Captain Harry Brand and his wife, Constance, seek refuge in Burma, their personal lives as chaotic as the disasters with which they are surrounded. When Burma is invaded, Harry is forced to endure the horrors of a Japanese prison camp, not knowing Constance's fate. He fights his way out and takes part in the epic fight back, first with Orde Wingate's Chindits and then with the 14th Army commanded by William Slim. For Harry, this is a personal crusade to avenge, or regain, the wife he hardly knows.
