Krátky popis
During the Second World War, British and American soldiers were
sent to new and challenging theatres, fighting to survive not only
encounters with the enemy but the landscape they found themselves
in. Being posted to South-East Asia and the Pacific to fight the
Japanese meant soldiers had to learn to survive in the tropics,
fighting and living in endless steamy jungle and perilous swamps.
In this environment, men had to be able to take care of themselves
rather than relying on their unit to supply their needs, something
which did not come naturally to the many soldiers born and raised
in cities. To help them in this completely alien environment, the
British and US armies produced a number of official training
manuals and guides to explain to the men how to identify and fight
the Japanese and avoid their deadly panji traps, but also ‘jungle
lore’: how to find and cook plants that were safe to eat, which
animals and insects could kill them, how to identify and treat
tropical illnesses and diseases, and avoid the dangers of polluted
water and cannibals. The Jungle Survival Pocket Manual brings
together the official manuals and information that enabled the
Allies to fight in Burma, Malaya, Thailand, Indochina, Singapore
and the Pacific Islands and win the war. Clothbound and with
retro-styling, this volume will appeal to those interested in the
South-East Asian and Pacific theatres of WWII as well as those
researching their family history. It makes a unique gift for all
those interested in survival techniques, and those of travelling to
Asia. The Jungle Survival Pocket Manual is complete with some 20
diagrams and drawings reproduced from the original guides.
