For the British, the longest land campaign of the Second World War had begun. 100,000 African soldiers were taken from Britain's colonies to fight the Japanese in the Burmese jungles. They performed heroically in one of the most brutal theatres of war, yet their contribution has been largely ignored. Isaac Fadoyebo was one of those 'Burma Boys'. At the age of sixteen he ran away from his Nigerian village to join the British Army. Sent to Burma, he was attacked and left for dead in the jungle by the Japanese. Sheltered by courageous local rice farmers, Isaac spent nine months in hiding before his eventual rescue. He returned to Nigeria a hero, but his story was soon forgotten. Barnaby Phillips travelled to Nigeria and Burma in search of Isaac, the family who saved his life, and the legacy of an Empire. Another Man's War is Isaac's story."--Front jacket flap. 600 10 $a Fadoyebo, Isaac, $d 1925-2012. 600 14 $a Fadoyebo, Isaac, $d 1925-2012. $0 (NL-LeOCL)384051421 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Burma $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Colonies $z Great Britain. 651 0 $a Nigeria $v Biography. 651 7 $a Birma. $2 gtt $0 (NL-LeOCL)078462126 655 7 $a BiografieeÌn. $2 gtt $0 (NL-LeOCL)078453909 941 $a 2 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20221203011432.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217015842.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A9002D4EF2F211E49475ABD7DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
