This is a survival story of one family’s flight during World War II. In 1942, as war spread in the Far East and the British, Japanese, and Chinese fought ferocious battles on Burmese soil, an eleven–year–old boy and his family found themselves trapped in the path of advancing armies. Told through the eyes of that Anglo–Burmese boy, this is the story of Stephen Brookes, who, along with his family and thousands of other terrified civilians, was forced to flee his home when the Japanese invaded. Packing whatever they could carry on foot, Brookes and his family joined the exodus of refugees abandoned by the civil administration and fled through the dense jungles of Northern Burma toward the Indian border. This book provides an account of their terrifying 3,000–mile journey, which lasted eight grueling months.
