Item description from seller

"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Hard cover dust wrapper, x/246pp, b&w plates. Very light wear to dw/board edges; a fine copy. This is the story of Lance Corporal Fred Goode, a member of the little known but select Special Service Detachment II (Middle East), whose role in 1941 was to support Chiang Kai-shek's forces fighting in Japanese occupied China and to train Chinese guerilla units in demolition and resistance. Following the Japanese invasion of Burma, they were tasked with destroying airfields and taking bullion to India. When they were overtaken by enemy forces they split and headed for India or Yunnan. Goode walked 2,000 miles towards India and freedom, but was betrayed to Japanese forces only 20 miles short of his destination. Tortured by the infamous Kempeitai Goode was then sent to Rangoon's notorious Central Jail, where he remained a prisoner of war until Japan's surrender. Of the original fifty, only eight survived.
