Hell on Land Disaster at Sea: The Story of Merrill's Marauders and the Sinking of the Rhona

In Hell on Land Fred Randle breaks his more than half a century silence on his ordeal during World War II, including eye witness account of America's worst at-sea military disaster, the sinking of the HMS Rohna in which 1,047 American soldiers were killed. Randle also describes his service with Merrill's Marauders against Japanese forces in Burma, and his survival during their 800-mile march through the world's most formidable terrain. History buffs will find Randle's first hand criticisms of the  decisions and actions of American General Joseph W Stilwell in the Asian campaign to be both sobering and enlightening.
