Shadows in the Jungle is one of those rare works of nonfiction that does indeed read like a novel and also sheds light on a heroic and almost unknown group of men, while reminding us of just how brutal and unforgiving the war in the Southwest Pacific was. Michael Korda, New York Times Bestselling Author of Ike: An American Hero and Clouds of Glory: The Life and Legend of Robert E. Lee A tale that is always gripping if frequently gruesome Employing a gritty, up-close style that gives the narrative the feel of a novel, Alexander combines, to great effect, personal testimonies of Scouts he interviewed with official accounts of their deeds. While the details of the teams exploits are not often pretty, the telling rings true. As readers follow different Alamo teams around the southwest Pacific, they will find themselves rooting for these men as if they know them not that the Scouts needed any help. ARMY magazine
