Hell Is So Green

HELL IS SO GREEN is an unusual World War II book about a remote area and a man that saved lives by daring to try the almost impossible missions to get injured men out of jungles that were barely explored. Since I read hundreds, if not thousands of World War II books, I consider this book one of the most interesting I've read. Therefore, I am holding on to my copy of HELL IS SO GREEN so I may read it again and again. If you are a reader of World War II books, you will find this book a keeper too.
