Introduction by Lieutenant General W. Ray Peers. the author graduated from Stanford University in 1936. He was commissioned a second lieutenant of Field Artillery in the Army Reserve. He was ordered to active duty shortly after Pearl harbor. He was assigned to a secret intelligence school which subsequently became the Military Intelligence Service Language School. From there he was sent to Burma. In 1945 Colonel Chan was transferred to the Wear Department General Staff Military Intelligence Division. He later served with the Office of Naval Intelligence e and the Central Intelligence Group. He retired in 1968. Derived from Publishers Weekly article: The author, a Chinese-American, served as a Japanese intelligence specialist in Burma with U.S. Army Gen. Joseph Stilwell's forces. "Vinegar Joe" was, in theory at least, in command of all Chinese Nationalist troops in the Burma-India theater, but they "obeyed" his orders only if parallel orders came through Chinese channels. Chan describes how Stilwell nevertheless managed to win the Second Burma Campaign, capturing Myitkyina and reestablishing land communications with China. Chan's duties were unusually difficult to carry out for at least two reasons: First, the interrogation of Japanese prisoners was nearly impossible because Chinese soldiers usually killed them soon after capture. Second, during his intelligence-gathering trips to the front, Chan and his two principal colleagues, Japanese-Americans, were often mistaken for Japanese operatives. This book is of interest for its depiction of the process of military intelligence and its application in the field under the most adverse conditions.
