Book excerpt: A military history of the U.S. army campaigns to open the Burma road to China during World War II. The successful campaign was carried out with a hastily thrown together force lacking in significant material advantages or logistical support. While acknowledging that the success was unachievable without the contributions of the British and Chinese military forces, the author argues that the campaign demonstrates the professionalism and effectiveness of the American soldiers.
