ABOUT THIS BOOK: In Hell On Land... Fred Randle breaks his more than half 1 century of silence on his ordeal during World War II, including an eye witness account of America's worst at—sea military disaster, the sinking of the HMS Rohna in which 1,047 American soldiers were killed. Randle also describes 4111 his service with Merrill's Marauders against Japanese forces in Burma, and his survival during their 800—mile march through the world's most formidable terrain. History buffs will find Randle's first hand criticisms of the decisions and actions of American General Joseph W. Stilwell in the Asian campaign to be both sobering and enlightening. A must read.

"At last, a foxhole perspective on WW ll's bloodiest, most crucial and least heralded Allied victory as recalled after 58 years by a pint-sized GI mule skinner tougher than his boots AND his mule. He and his bud-dies comprised probably the most dogged and durable combat infantry force ever to do battle in the name of the United States, completing an 800-mile, four month campaign in which they suffered 80 per cent casual-ties fighting Japs, jungles, starvation, exhaustion and top brass incompetence."
