Arctic explorer, survival expert, and naturalist Freddie Spencer Chapman was trapped behind enemy lines when the Japanese occupied Malaya in 1942. His reaction was to launch a commando campaign with such deadly efficiency that the Japanese deployed an entire brigade to hunt him down, believing that a 200-man guerrilla group was responsible for the complete destruction of their convoys. He was injured and debilitated by tropical diseases. His companions were killed or captured and then beheaded. Cut off from friendly forces, with the dense jungle as his only refuge, Chapman endured for three years and five months. Jungle Soldier tells the thrilling and unforgettable adventures of the orphan from the North who survived against all odds to become a legend of guerrilla warfare.
