Publisher's Synopsis
It's winter 1944 and the Second World War is entering its most crucial stage. Only months ago, fourteen-year-old Ali Banana was an apprentice blacksmith. Now, behind enemy lines, trekking through the Burmese jungle, he's a private in Thunder Brigade. His unit, led by the scarred, charismatic Sergeant Damisa, has orders to go behind enemy lines and wreak havoc. But the jungle is a treacherous place, riddled with Japanese snipers, ambush, and infection. As torrential rains turn everywhere into a mud-riven death trap, the losses mount. Exhausted and far from home, the men of D-Section Thunder Brigade are besieged yet indomitable.
