A harrowing portrait of a largely forgotten campaign that
pushed one battalion to the limits of human suffering.
Despite their lack of jungle training, the 32nd Division’s “Ghost
Mountain Boys” were assigned the most grueling mission of the
entire Pacific campaign in World War II: to march over the
10,000-foot Owen Stanley Mountains to protect the right flank of
the Australian army during the battle for New Guinea. Reminiscent
of the classics like Band of Brothers and The Things They Carried,
The Ghost Mountain Boys is part war diary, part extreme-adventure
tale, and—through letters, journals, and interviews—part biography
of a group of men who fought to survive in an environment every bit
as fierce as the enemy they faced. Theirs is one of the great
untold stories of the war.
“Superb.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
“Campbell started out with history, but in the end he has written
a tale of survival and courage of near-mythic proportions.”
—America in WWII magazine
“In this compelling and sprightly written account, Campbell
shines a long-overdue light on the equally deserving heroes of the
Red Arrow Division.”
