Samenvatting	This is the story of one young man's odyssey through war, from soldiering in Africa in an exotic regiment to the often terrifying business of fighting a skilled and determined enemy in the hostile and disease ridden terrain of the Burmese jungle. It's a story that begins in the bandit country of Abyssinia, on Kenya's Northern Frontier and in lone outposts set in rock and sand in Somaliland. That suddenly descends into the hell of fighting a desperate but still deadly Japanese Army retreating through jungle almost impossible to live in, let alone fight in. But this is also the human story of the bond of loyalty between the young Lieutenant from England and the man engaged as his personal servant, 16 year old Tomasi Kitinya, son of Liech, a Luo tribesman from the shores of Lake Victoria. With an ending that will leave the reader both shocked and moved, it is the story of this relationship that brings something very special to what is already a remarkable account of war.
