'...As I walk or drive past the Chindit memorial on the Embankment, I feel a new and deeper respect for remembering through this book their searing and all too often scarring experience.' - The Rt. Hon. the Lord Owen. The Chindits, the brainchild of Orde Wingate, operated behind the lines in Burma during the Second World War. By the magnetism of his personality, Wingate was able to forge out of an ill-assorted bunch of men a fighting force which became a legend. Philip Stibbe recounts the brief part he played as a young officer in Chindit operations. He describes their training and the way in which Wingate prepared them for the ordeals ahead. Alas, Stibbe ended up a prisoner of the Japanese. How he managed to survive the appalling sadism of his captors in the following years is extraordinary.
