Tales from the King's African Rifles by John Nunneley
This is John Nunneley's account of how, as a 19-year-old officer in the Second World War, he arrived in Kenya to join the King's African Rifles; a famous colonial regiment. He was to lead his askaris first in Africa and then in Burma's Kabow Valley, the 'Valley of Death', fighting the elite White Tigers of the Japanese Army. 'John Nunneley's detailed and unsparing accounts of the brutal skirmishes and firefights in the Kabow Valley...reek with authenticity as well as all the chaos and terror, the sheer blind luck and cruel tragedy of battle.' William Boyd.
John Nunneley is the Chairman of the Burma Campaign Fellowship Group, a British veterans' association devoted to the promotion of understanding and reconciliation amongst former enemies.
