In Burma, the Author fought with his Indian Regiment at Kohima, that most bloody turning point of the war against the Japanese whose fighting ability had attained almost legendary status. The Author's description of his part is at once inspiring, thrilling and gripping, but always modest. Having survived one war, it can have been nothing short of disturbing to find himself, now with the Middlesex Regiment, in the thick of an extremely precarious struggle against the Communist Chinese and North Koreans. The intensity and dangers of the Korean War have for too long been underestimated. One reason for this may well be that there have been few quality accounts of the campaign by professional soldiers able to describe their and others' experiences as fluently as John Shipster does in this book.
Mist Over The Rice-Fields is a graphic and moving memoir of two bitter campaigns, giving a first-hand account of the hardship, camaraderie and humour in the front-line.
