Two Ame…rican soldiers lost in New Guinea, divided by prejudice, discover what holds them together. A young Indian officer of mixed blood fights for the British in Malaysia.

Influenced by family stories of the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, Sabina Murray brings to light a complex cast of civilians, soldiers, survivors, and conquerors.
