AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Suicide mission in Burma. After a few beers in Colombo Petty-officer Hooky Walker was ready to volunteer for duty anywhere with Lieutenant Peter Bentley, R.A.N. But he didn't know he was heading for Chitagong, to join a cut-throat raffish bunch of commandos setting out on a suicide mission in the Burma jungle. At sea it's fifteen miles to the horizon. A man's used to long distances when he's on look-out. Here you could see about five feet. And the Japs had strong patrols out...' - back cover (1964)
