Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Our Jungle Road to Tokyo is the dazzling account of how US and Allied forces overcame incredible odds to rout invading Japanese from entrenched positions deep in the mountain jungles of Papua New Guinea. Battles take place in swamps, impassable vegetation, coconut plantations with invisible snipers buried in tree roots, hillsides riddled with pill-boxes and maze-like underground bunkers impervious to artillery and mortar. It is a detailed, autobiographical report from a leading architect of the Southwest Pacific Campaign, General Robert Eichelberger, who took his orders directly from Big Chief himself, General Douglas MacArthur. The action begins in earnest with MacArthur s chilling directive to Eichelberger regarding the recapturing of Buna, on Papua s north coast: Take Buna, Bob, or don t come back alive.…

First Edition. Small Octavo. 18cm. Publisher's purple card wraps in a Japanese coptic style binding with an illustrated paper title label applied to the front wrap. Some mior sunning and discoloration to the wraps, some light cosmetic fraying to the stiching, and some dog-eared corners in places. Internally clean, illustrated througout. A very good, neat little book. Clearly intended for the families of US servicemen and women stationed in Japan. Details of note include a run down on the seasonal weather in the US zones of residence (on Honshu it was Tokyo-Yokohama and the Sendai area; on Hokkaido, Sapporo; and on Kyusha, Fukuoka among other areas), how to secure housing and how that housing will differ from what Americans are accustomed to, schooling, banking etc. Clearly stemming from the US's post war prosperity and lone superpower status, some of the entries would not have been out of place in a British 19th century military guide: "Servants are of medium quality.the average family will require about three; a cook, a washerwoman, and a Houseboy or girl.They are capable of picking up enough English.but to find a well-trained house servant is very rare." The slim volume is illustrated throughout with photographs, and some characteristically military cartoons. From differing perspectives the guide can be seen both as rather brash and colonial, and as attempting from a position of ignorance to anticipate potential culture shock and hazards on all sides of the divide; victor and vanquished, foreigner and citizen, soldier and civilian. Less than a handful of copies represented in institutions. …
