Ursula Graham Bower (1914-1988), worked as an anthropologists in the Naga Hills of India between 1937 and 1946. With Japan's invasion of Burma in 1942, and at the request of the British Government, she led a band of Nagas as guerilla scouts to hunt down the Japanese in the mountains. The Japanese offered a bounty for her capture, unsuccessfully. She also established a system providing safe passage for escaped prisoners and bailed-out airmen fleeing from Burma to India. This is the remarkable story of these years.
