I loved this book and by the end of it I was breathless. It is an amazing true life adventure of survival, perseverance, faith and trust all in the time of war. I couldn't help but think of being lost in a tropical rain-forest in 1944-45 evading capture. I was transported there by the wonderful writing of Heimann.
Judith Heimann does a super job of putting the events and timeline in order as best she could from the interviews, memoirs, and post action recordings from the survivors of those who participated. Also, the book really shows the power of Christianity and how a little of it can go a long way even in the jungles of Borneo.
All I can say is read the book you will be rewarded.
