" A surprisingly good book about Americans shot down over Borneo during WW II. I very much enjoyed the story and learning a little about the Dayak (headhunters) of Borneo. The Dayaks rescued the Americans and saved their lives. This a picture of a culture that has now been destroyed. Very worth reading. "
