Lost in Shangri-la

Patrick Ruster

Despite not containing very much information about actual 'WAR' (one of my favorite topics to read up on) this book was immensely enjoyable.

Describes the 1945 odyssey of three plane crash survivors in New Guinea who endured a harrowing journey through the jungle to seek help, their encounter with a primitive tribe who had never seen white people, and their eventual rescue by a band of paratroopers.
