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.
