Fully illustrated throughout with maps, photographs and charts,
this authoritative and entertaining book is an account of the
operations of the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), more
commonly known as Merrill's Marauders, in North Burma from February
to May, 1944. The book is based on the interviews of the soldiers
who not only survived five major and thirty minor engagements with
the veterans of the Japanese 18th Division, but also had to battle
constant fatigue, dysentery, malaria and malnutrition, in difficult
mountain terrain. They prepared the way for the southward advance
of the Chinese by disorganizing supply lines and communications.
The climax of the Marauders' operations was the capture of the
Myitkyina airfield.
