About the Book

In 1942, Japan crushed Malaya and Singapore . . . After just 70 days of desperate fighting, the British Army had surrendered. The British Empire was on its knees. And so began the Japanese Occupation of terror. But the war continued . . . In the depths of the harsh Malayan jungle, a small group of courageous British officers had remained behind. Their mission- to train the native guerilla forces and to battle on. The Jungle is Neutral is Spencer Chapman's incredible story of his three years in the jungle. A moving, unforgettable saga of deadly encounters with the enemy, fortitude, horrifying diseases, death, and ultimately, victory. 'Fascinating . . . a thrilling story in a brave man's life.' The New York Times 'One of the greatest of war stories of individual enterprise and adventure.' Daily Express 'Well-written . . . filled with fascinating information and exciting adventures.' The Nation 'I very much doubt if anybody else can equal his adventures or achievements.' Viscount Mountbatten

About the Author :
Frederick Spencer Chapman was born in 1907. He read English and History at Cambridge. Taking part in expeditions to Greenland and to Himalaya, Chapman made the first ascent of Chomolhari, in 1937. He was a housemaster at Gordonstoun when war broke out in 1939. After Dunkirk, he was assigned to a Special Training Centre as a commando instructor. In September 1941 he was posted to Malaya to help organise local resistance against the impending Japanese invasion. It was the beginning of his career as a truly outstanding strategist of guerilla warfare. His four thrilling, danger-filled years spent in the jungle with the Malayan People's Anti-Japanese Army are the theme of The Jungle is Neutral. .At the end of the war, he was a Civil Affairs Officer in Malaya until he was demobbed in 1946. He then returned to educational work - he was the Organising Secretary of the Outward Bound Trust for a year before taking up teaching again as a headmaster. He died in 1971
