History. ***. A military plane flying over uncharted land crashes killing almost everyone. The survivors must now contend with limited supplies, sustenance and the native headhunters/cannibals while the military brass figure out how to enter this terra incognita to rescue their fellow soldiers.

Well-researched book. Though not as "exciting" as I had anticipated, it was still very interesting especially regarding the inevitable culture-clash.
