In this book Mr. Rooney attempts to re-assess the contribution made by Orde Wingate and the Chindits to victory in the Burma Theater of World War Two. Soon after the war, following publication of Slim's memoir, "Defeat Into Victory," and the "Official History of the War with Japan" both Wingate and the activities of his "Special Force" came under severe criticism from the British military establishment. Rooney's book urges contemporary historians toward a more balanced assessment of both the man and the Chindit operations of 1943 and 1944. Nicely done.
