Behind Japanese Lines was very informative and satisfying.....not so much about the war as the Kachin people and society.
The results the fledgling OSS achieved by working with the Kachin was astonishing. If you have any interest in WWII and the war effort in the area - I'm sure you will be fascinated and impressed. Dwight Eisenhower surely was.

This is not just written by an interested historian ....but rather by one who was there, in the 101, and that shows.
