About this title

Synopsis

Kachin Rangers Blurbs Joe Wolfe travels from war on the Bataan Peninsula as a US Army Sargent to the tropical wilderness of Burma. As an OSS agent he organizes and fight alongside the ruthless Kachin tribesmen. Of the trackless Burmese jungles, creates a lethal trap for the brutal invading Japanese forces. Wolfe, US Army Sargent, is assigned to the Philippine Scouts when Japan invades after the Pearl Harbor attack. During the long fighting retreat down the Bataan Peninsula, he is pulled back and reassigned. The Office of new Coordinator of Information - later the Office of Strategic Services - office for President Roosevelt is in need of experienced insurgents. Joe Wolfe is sent to Burma to help repel the cruel Japanese oppressors. Before he can leave on the new assignment he is caught-up in a sea battle involving gunboats in Manila Bay. Then he must find his own way thousands of miles across sea and land dodging Japanese forces all the way. Without respite from his journeys, he is parachuted into northern Burma. Here he organizes and trains the wild Kachin hill tribes to harass the Japs. He is wise in allowing the Kachins to use their centuries-old hunting skills to rain terror on the invaders. With crossbows and knives, the Kachin Rangers instigate a jungle insurgency which prevents the Japanese from moving freely. The Japs are trapped within their own encampments knowing the Kachins await them in the dark jungles. When the Americans decide to build a road linking India to southern China, Wolfe and his Rangers must screen the new Ledo Road from Japanese attack. The Kachin Rangers hold-off the enemy until allied armies are prepared to counter-attack the invader. - This is the 4th volume in John h Lambe’s American Scouts and Rangers Series - Short Joe Wolfe travels from war on the Bataan Peninsula as a US Army Sargent to the tropical wilderness of Burma.
