Download or read book The Jungle Beat written by Roy Follows and published by Eye Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In search of adventure, Roy Follows joined the Malay police at the height of a bitter 10-year campaign against communist terrorists. He was 22 and had no experience of jungle warfare. Within a year he had become the youngest ever commander of a jungle fort and platoon operation deep within enemy controlled territory. Reliant on uncertain intelligence, he led his platoon through a series of offensive patrols and carried the war with the terrorists to their own ground. Faced by a deadly enemy, Roy was also forced to confront an unknown but equally threatening environment. Stampeding elephants, swarming ants, and prowling tigers competed with the terrorists for the lives of his men. The jungle itself constantly tried to deceive even the most wary navigator, whilst offering little respite from the relentless rain and draining humidity. This is the gripping account of Roy’s hard-fought stint as a jungle officer.
Download or read book The Jungle is Neutral written by Frederick Spencer Chapman and published by Time Life Medical. This book was released on 1989 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the fall of Malaysia to the Japanese, the unflappable F. Spencer Chapman survived for years in the jungle as a guerilla fighter. The Jungle is Neutral is his amazing tale of survival and valor against all odds. As he traveled by bicycle, motorcycle, dugout, on foot, or on his belly through the jungle muck, Chapman recruited sympathetic Chinese, Malays, Tamils, and Sakai tribesmen into an irregular corps of jungle fighters. Their mission: to harass the Japanese in any way possible. In riveting scenes, Chapman recalls their daring raids as they blew up bridges, cut communications lines, and affixed plasticine to troop-filled trucks idling by the road. They threw grenades and disappeared into the jungle, their faces darkened with carbon, their tommy guns wrapped in tape so as not to reflect the moonlight. When Chapman wasn't battling the Japanese or escaping from their prisons, he found himself fighting the jungle's incessant rain, wild tigers, unfriendly tribesmen, leeches, disease, and malnutrition. This classic tale has been compared to Lawrence of Arabia's classic account, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, and the gritty account of day-to-day operations is so accurate that the French Foreign Legion used the book as a primer on jungle warfare. It is a war story without rival.
Download or read book Hunting Terrorists in the Jungle written by John Chynoweth and published by History Press (SC). This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1950s, Britain’s empire was in rapid decline. Many countries had gained independence, but some still remained in the Empire as the infrastructure was put in place for them to gain their independence. Although not at war, Britain was fighting freedom fighters and terrorists in countries as diverse as Cyprus and Malaya. National Service was still in force and many young British men found themselves in far-flung lands, fighting against EOKA terrorists and Communist rebels. Hunting Terrorists in the Jungle is the dramatic story of just one young Lieutenant who had been transplanted from his home in England and trained to kill the Communist rebels in Malaya. These self-same rebels had been trained during the Second World War by the British to attack the Japanese occupiers, but were now using the skills learned to disrupt the British and Malay authorities.

Download or read book The Jungle Japanese and the British Commonwealth Armies at War 1941 45 written by Tim Moreman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the British Commonwealth armies in SE Asia and the SW Pacific during the Second World War, which, following the disastrous Malayan and Burma campaigns, had to hurriedly re-train, re-equip and re-organise their demoralised troops to fight a conventional jungle war against the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA). British, Indian and Australian troops faced formidable problems conducting operations across inaccessible, rugged and jungle-covered mountains on the borders of Burma, in New Guinea and on the islands of the SW Pacific. Yet within a remarkably short time they adapted to the exigencies of conventional jungle warfare and later inflicted shattering defeats on the Japanese. This study will trace how the military effectiveness of the Australian Army and the last great imperial British Army in SE Asia was so dramatically transformed, with particular attention to the two key factors of tactical doctrine and specialised training in jungle warfare. It will closely examine how lessons were learnt and passed on between the British, Indian and Australian armies. The book will also briefly cover the various changes in military organisation, medical support and equipment introduced by the military authorities in SE Asia and Australia, as well as covering the techniques evolved to deliver effective air support to ground troops. To demonstrate the importance of these changes, the battlefield performance of imperial troops in such contrasting operations as the First Arakan Campaign, fighting along the Kokoda Trail and the defeat of the IJA at Imphal and Kohima will be described in detail.
Download or read book War Memory and the Making of Modern Malaysia and Singapore written by Karl Hack and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Singapore fell to Japan on 15 February 1942. Within days, the Japanese had massacred thousands of Chinese civilians, and taken prisoner more than 100,000 British, Australian and Indian soldiers. A resistance movement formed in Malaya's jungle-covered mountains, but the vast majority could do little other than resign themselves to life under Japanese rule. The Occupation would last three and a half years, until the return of the British in September 1945. How is this period remembered? And how have individuals, communities, and states shaped and reshaped memories in the postwar era? The book response to these questions, presenting answers that use the words of Chinese, Malays, Indians, Eurasians, British and Australians who personally experienced the war years. The authors guide readers through many forms of memory: from the soaring pillars of Singapore's Civilian War Memorial, to traditional Chinese cemeteries in Malaysia; and from families left bereft by Japanese massacres, to the young women who flocked to the Japanese-sponsored Indian National Army, dreaming of a march on Delhi. This volume provides a forum for previously marginalized and self-censored voices, using the stories they relate to reflect on the nature of conflict and memory. They also offer a deeper understanding of the searing transit from wartime occupation to post-war decolonization and the moulding of postcolonial states and identities.

To make matters worse, the terrorist who became known to the locals as ‘bandits’ were financially well supported by the Communist Party of Malaya with an active membership of tens of thousands of civilians predominantly Chinese squatters and displaced citizenry.
