The Burma Road - China's Lifeline to the Outside World

By 1942, the Japanese had swept across China, closing its ports, and finally invaded Burma severing China's last lifeline to the outside world. Donavan Webster's "The Burma Road: The Epic Story of the China-Burma-India Theater in WW II" introduces the fascinating cast of Merrill's Marauders, Chennault's Flying Tiger's, Wingate's Chindits and the charismatic Joseph Stilwell. A sweeping tale of jungle warfare and survival against, mud, leeches and tropical heat.
