Our Jungle Road to Tokyo is the dazzling account of how US and
Allied forces overcame incredible odds to rout invading Japanese
from entrenched positions deep in the mountain jungles of Papua New
Guinea. Battles take place in swamps, impassable vegetation,
coconut plantations with invisible snipers buried in tree roots,
hillsides riddled with pill-boxes and maze-like underground bunkers
impervious to artillery and mortar. It is a detailed,
autobiographical report from a leading architect of the Southwest
Pacific Campaign, General Robert Eichelberger, who took his orders
directly from Big Chief himself, General Douglas MacArthur. The
action begins in earnest with MacArthur s chilling directive to
Eichelberger regarding the recapturing of Buna, on Papua s north
coast: Take Buna, Bob, or don t come back alive.
