In this book the author, narrates with typical British aplomb an amazing tale of four years spent he as a guerrilla in the jungle, haranguing the Japanese in occupied Malaysia. Traveling sometimes by bicycle and/or motorcycle, rarely by truck, and mainly in dugouts, on foot, and often on his belly through the jungle muck, Chapman recruits sympathetic Chinese, Malays, Tamils, and Sakai tribesman into an irregular corps of jungle fighters. Their mission: to harass the Japanese in any way possible. In riveting scenes, they blow up bridges, cut communication lines, and affix plasticine to troop-filled trucks idling by the road. They build mines by stuffing bamboo with gelignite. They throw grenades and disappear into the jungle, their faces darkened with carbon, their tommy guns wrapped in tape so as not to reflect the moonlight. And when he is not battling the Japanese, or escaping from their prisons, he is fighting the jungle's incessant rain, wild tigers, unfriendly tribesmen, leeches, and undergrowth so thick it can take four hours to walk a mile. A clean very presentable copy.…

When Stanley chose the title In Darkest Africa for the account of his marvellous travels, he was thinking of the Pygmies in the Ituri Forest and the immense herds of wild elephants and buffaloes in the limitless green savannah. Nowadays, the emphasis has been reversed and 'darkest Africa' implies the overcrowding and crime in the slums of Johannesburg's Shanty Town and the tragic plight of the Cape Coloureds, whereas Lightest Africa is concerned with the primitive unspoilt tribes in remote Karamoja, the snows of Kilimanjaro and the wonderful game reserves.".…
