The British, determined to retake Burma, dispatched a special forces unit known as the Chindits deep behind Japanese lines. Their mission was to launch a relentless attack on the enemy wherever they encountered them. What awaited them was a nightmare that rivaled anything the Second World War had to offer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColonel Keith Crosby and Doctor Alistair Whitamore, both veterans of the grueling retreat through Burma two years prior, carried old scores that had yet to be settled. However, neither the unforgiving jungle nor the relentless Japanese foe had diminished in their savagery. As the shooting commenced and the Japanese descended upon the smaller British force, each man was pushed to his physical and mental limits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriter Garth Ennis, renowned for his works such as The Boys, Preacher, and DREAMING EAGLES, collaborated with artist PJ Holden, known for his contributions to The Stringbags, World of Tanks, and Judge Dredd. Together, they crafted a gripping tale of hellish jungle warfare, where seemingly civilized human beings descended into an apocalyptic heart of darkness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chindits faced relentless Japanese resistance, navigating through dense jungles and treacherous terrain. They encountered enemy forces that displayed a shocking level of brutality, with some resorting to torture and mutilation. The Chindits' mission was fraught with danger, and the odds were stacked against them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the overwhelming challenges, the Chindits showed remarkable courage and determination. They fought with a fierce loyalty to each other and to their mission, refusing to surrender even in the face of impossible odds. Their bravery and resilience were a testament to the human spirit's enduring strength in the face of adversity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chindits' story is a harrowing reminder of the sacrifices made during World War II and the bravery of those who faced impossible odds. Their mission not only helped to reclaim Burma for the British but also demonstrated the indomitable human spirit's ability to overcome even the most daunting challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, 1944: Imperial Japan still commands most of Asia. The British send a special forces unit – the Chindits – deep behind Japanese lines. Their mission is to attack the enemy wherever they find him. What awaits them is a nightmare equal to anything the Second World War can deliver. Colonel Keith Crosby and Doctor Alistair Whitamore have old scores to settle, being veterans of the long retreat through Burma two years before. But neither the jungle nor the foe have gotten any less savage, and when the shooting starts and the Japanese descend on the smaller British force in their midst, every man will be tested to his limit. Writer Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher, DREAMING EAGLES) and artist PJ Holden (The Stringbags, World of Tanks, Judge Dredd) present a tale of hellish jungle warfare, as apparently civilized human beings descend into an apocalyptic heart of darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 582g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 277 x 12 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781956731064\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garth Ennis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44133518835962,"sku":"9781956731064","price":16.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1679657342873_book.jpg?v=1680102384","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/lion-the-eagle-9781956731064","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
