Description
During World War II, Roger Hilsman fought in Burma with the legendary Merrill's Marauders until he was machine-gunned.
Then, at age twenty-five, he led a battalion of indigenous troops behind Japanese lines.
At the war's end, he headed a POW rescue mission to Manchuria, where the prisoners included his own father.
An exciting, unusual coming-of-age story, "American Guerrilla" concludes with reflections on how Hilsman's wartime experiences influenced his involvement in early Vietnam War policy making when he served in the Kennedy administration.
