Default can of worms

Too many to say , but :

'The jungle is neutral' by F. Spencer-Chapman . It details his exploits running around Malaya for 3 and a half years , living with Chinese communist guerrilas and evading the Japs . A truely amazing survival story. This chap also set up the commando school at Wilsons prom .

'Fear drive my Feet ' Peter Ryan ? A 18 year old and his adventures in New Guinea as a spy/observer on the Huon peninsula . The author was interviewed on anzac day a few years back, and I immediately clicked to who it was.

And, a favourite . 'the naked Island' by Russell Braddon . His story of being a POW on the Thai Burma railway .
