Publisher's Summary
When Singapore fell to the Japanese in December 1941, Captain Freddie Spencer Chapman chose to take the fight to the enemy.
Trekking deep behind enemy lines into the jungle, this veteran explorer turned special forces operative unleashed a one-man commando campaign of such destructive power and lethal ferocity that the Japanese deployed a Regiment of four thousand men in a desperate effort to hunt him down.
For three-and-a-half years he was cut off from Allied support. Fighting alongside Malayan guerrillas, he endured terrible injury, starvation, a host of gruesome tropical diseases and even cannibalism.
While many of his companions were killed, captured and beheaded by the Japanese, he held out, fighting on until the war's end when he eventually made contact with British forces on a home-made radio to arrange for his escape by submarine.
The Jungle is Neutral is Spencer Chapman's riveting account of unimaginable hardship and unbreakable will in the face of a ruthless enemy. As a tale of endurance and survival it is unsurpassed. As a war story, it is without rival.

Great listen
He goes into great of all the different groups in his area of operations. It's amazing how he survived all the illnesses and such during his long time in the jungle. It's definitely worth listening to.

Compelling listening, well read, and fascinating recounting
Came here after reading about Chapman’s time in Greenland. Compelling book, expertly read. Thoroughly enjoyed the listen, at some points a horrifying tale of disease and death, and at others a grand tale of adventure. Only negative would be the plethora of very similar place names. Without a map it can be very hard to follow some of the journeys (particularly if you listen over a number of days or weeks)
