"1944: Imperial Japan still commands most of Asia. Determined to regain
their hold on Burma, the British send a special forces unit – the
Chindits – deep behind Japanese lines. Their mission is to attack the
enemy wherever they find him. What awaits them is a nightmare equal to
anything the Second World War can deliver. Colonel Keith Crosby and
Doctor Alistair Whitamore have old scores to settle, being veterans of
the long retreat through Burma two years before. But neither the jungle
nor the foe have gotten any less savage, and when the shooting starts
and the Japanese descend on the smaller British force in their midst,
every man will be tested to his limit. Writer Garth Ennis (The Boys,
Preacher, DREAMING EAGLES) and artist PJ Holden (The Stringbags, World of Tanks, Judge Dredd) present a tale of hellish jungle warfare, as
apparently civilized human beings descend into an apocalyptic heart of
darkness." Another pretty good tale of a theater of operation that is sorely forgotten. Give it a read here.
Good read,
Brian
