Part of the SECOND WORLD WAR VOICES series in partnership with the
podcast We Have Ways of Making You Talk, presented by comedian Al
Murray and bestselling historian James Holland. 'Heroic, punishing
excursions behind enemy lines, the Chindit expeditions are mythical
and controversial in equal measure...Rhodes James takes us right to
the heart of them' Al Murray __________________________________
1943 - The fight to retake Burma is about to begin. Major-General
Orde Wingate surprises the conquering Japanese Army with a daring
raid they had no idea was coming. But this is just the beginning.
Next, he devises a campaign of guerrilla operation to hit the
invaders where it most hurts. Behind their own lines. Marshalling
and training a lethal force of 10,000 men deep in the Burmese
jungle, the Chindits are born. Cipher Officer Richard Rhodes James
was part of that hidden army and chronicles the story of a band of
brothers fighting for survival against a remorseless enemy and an
unforgiving environment. Neither took any prisoners. The Chindits'
daring actions and tactical brilliance laid the foundations for
turning the tide of the war in the East.
