An extraordinary personal memoir of a combat intelligence officer on the staff of General Joseph W Stilwell during World War II. As a Chinese-American, and a Japanese language specialist, ‘Charlie’ Chan held a unique position. Assigned to the China-Burma-India theater of operations, he was often mistaken for a Japanese by both American and Chinese combat troops. He placed himself in triple jeopardy for months on end. Colonel Chan took part in general Stilwell’s second and third Burma campaigns, including the bloody battle of Myitkyina in June, July, and August 1944. He fought side by side with our Chinese allies against the Japanese in the jungles of Asia. He made numerous hazardous reconnaissance flights behind Japanese lines and single engine light aircraft. An unusual story of action, courage, and devotion to duty. -- Personal account of an Asian-American officer in Burma during WW2. From the book jacket.
