From The Blitz To The Burmese Jungle And Beyond : A Memoir
Paperback Edition: 1
One man's memoir of World War II, which took him from the Blitz to the jungles of Burma, to the devastation of Hiroshima. New Zealander Brian Hennessy's story is published for the first time. What follows is a true adventure story as Brian journeys via South Africa to India and the remote jungles of Burma. Danger was always present, but this is a memoir that reveals Brian's love of nature and his interactions with the local people - stories that are sometimes humorous, at other times poignant. At the end of the war, he took advantage of the chaos at the time, and he boarded a ship and went to Japan. There he saw first-hand the devastation at Hiroshima. Brian immigrated to New Zealand after the war and lived there until his death aged ninety-two.
