George MacDonald Fraser—beloved for his series of Flashman historical novels—offers an action-packed memoir of his experiences in Burma during World War II. Fraser was only 19 when he arrived there in the war’s final year, and he offers a first-hand glimpse at the camaraderie, danger, and satisfactions of service. A substantial Epilogue, occasioned by the 50th anniversary of VJ-Day in 1995, adds poignancy to a volume that eminent military historian John Keegan described as “one of the great personal memoirs of the Second World War.”©2007 George MacDonald Fraser; (P)2010 Random House

A straightforward and (at times) humorous recounting of the authors memory of serving in the British Army during the Burma Campaign. If you are the pearl clutching woke type looking for regret and angst from the author for having served during a brutal war, you will be disappointed.
This book is also not a high-level, strategy driven recounting with detailed maps, etc. It is a 'simple' narrative of a common soldier. What it is really, is an honest account of men in difficult circumstances and the various personalities of those men. I think it's also a great snapshot of the opinions and thoughts of those men (at that time) without a bunch of sanitized revisionist history. It is real.

very relatable and no false notes

This was transferred from version for cassette, there's a missing segment before he announces 'cassette 3, side 1'. The gap covers 20 pages in my printed copy, 47 to 67.

Great book, flawed audio file

EXCELLENT story with OUTSTANDING narration! Mr. Case utilized a wide array of accents, which served to enrich the manuscript beyond expectations!

Must Listen!
