The second part of John Masters' autobiography: how he fought with his Gurkha regiment during World War II until his promotion to command one of the Chindit columns behind enemy lines in Burma. This is a moving story that culminates in him having personally to shoot a number of wounded British soldiers who could not be evacuated before their position was overrun by the Japanese. It is an uncomfortable reminder that Churchill's obsession with "special forces" squandered thousands of Allied lives in operations that owed more to public relations than strategic calculation.
