ABOUT
In the early stages of WWII the Japanese method of jungle warfare had no military answer from the British or Americans.
Wingate's visionary Burma response was way ahead of his time as he created the guerrilla warrior, taking the Japanese model to the next step and beyond. His concept of maximizing insurgent surprise, creating chaos and destruction and then melting into the jungle was subsequently followed by Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam.
