Butch and Sundance Do India: A madcap search for our father's WWII footsteps from Delhi to Burma - Softcover
Synopsis
The heavily armed guard spat out a command in Assamese. Our guide whispered, “He is wanting your passports.” As I handed over my lifeline to American protection, my brother nervously joked, “Butch, what were you thinking?”
With trademarked humor, Williams takes readers on a fast-paced drive across India from Delhi to the Burmese border, as she and her brother chase the ghost of their father and reimagine scenes from the World War II campaign to recapture Burma (Myanmar) from the Japanese.
Williams captivated readers with “The Last Romantic War”—the epic story of her father’s exploits in WWII, including her parents’ exotic global romance. Now here is the exciting backstory: A research trip to India that turns into two madcap weeks of unexpected adventure and culture shock.
Determined to find the Ledo Road and see the jungle Major Traywick spoke of in his WWII reminiscences, the two take a rough drive to the most remote corner of India, where it is encircled by the Himalayas—as well as the unfriendly nations of China and Burma/Myanmar.
Along the way, they hunt for the historic Giant Leech, brave the near-death experience of Indian traffic, and boldly drink cocktails without ice. A visit to the Hill Country yields tea with a Buddhist abbot. An elephant ride reveals a jungle full of wild animals. From snake charmers to burning ghats, from the splendor of the Taj Mahal to the privation of a bamboo hut, our heroes absorb as much of Indian life as humanly possible in two weeks.
