The Green Hell by J Scott Payne
A gritty and gut-wrenching story of Midwestern unfortunates who drew the shortest stick of World War I. Told through the eyes of an infantry private, these men were the first U.S. Army division sent into combat. And they had the misfortune to be the spearhead of General Douglas MacArthur's first and inept offensive against the Japanese in New Guinea. Told they would face a push-over - a starving, sickened enemy -- the green 32nd Infantry Division found itself outnumbered and outgunned by veteran Japanese troops, adversaries of unparalleled tenacity quite at home and willing to die in New Guinea's impenetrable jungles and fetid malarial swamps. In the end, the 32nd logged more days of combat than any other American division.
Payne, J. Scott: - J. Scott Payne began his writing career as a cub reporter for the Kansas Star. After service with the U.S. Army in Korea, Vietnam and-worst of all-Washington, D.C., he worked as a reporter and editor of several Midwestern newspapers and magazines. Now retired, he and his wife, Jane, live in a small west Michigan college town where they enjoy the woods, the birds and the battles-or maybe games-between Burt, their big black cat, and Bailey, the little white terrier.
