At the very end of World War II, a plane filled with sightseeing GIs and Women’s Army Corps members crashes in a remote mountainous jungle in New Guinea. There are three survivors, one woman and man who are injured fairly severely, and one man who is unharmed, except that his identical twin has died in the crash. The area that they’ve found themselves in is home to thousands of native New Guineans, but the problem is that these are uncontacted tribes, some of whom practice cannibalism. With no immediate rescue possible, the survivors have to figure out what to do. If you like survival stories and World War II, this is a fast, interesting book to read. This one is not a memoir, but it’s written by a journalist and based on interviews and Army documents, and it includes personal snapshots and the voices of the survivors really come through. It interweaves lots of interesting information about the native culture, even though the main focus is on the story of the survivors of the airplane crash.
