As is described in the subtitle of Lost in Shangri-La by Mitchell Zuckoff, the book is a true story of survival, adventure, and the most incredible rescue mission of World War II. I thought the book lived up to its billing. The little-known story is an amazing saga, and the author keeps it moving along. I always wanted to know what was going to happen next.We know now that in May of 1945 the end of the war was near, but back then the fighting was still ongoing in the Pacific. American troops were stationed in Dutch New Guinea, a truly wild place with jungle, mountains, dangerous natives, and Japanese soldiers still posing a real threat. On May 13, twenty-four American military personnel (men and women) boarded a transport plane for a sightseeing flight over the island. They were particularly interested in having a look at a mysterious valley that was supposed to be reminiscent of Shangri-La in James Hilton's novel Lost Horizon.The trip did not end well. The plane crashed and only three passengers survived. They were injured and basically alone in the middle of nowhere. The story of their efforts to return to civilization is especially gripping as they battle the possibility of poisonous snakes, sickness, and parasites, not to mention the Japanese and unknown native tribes.Mr. Zuckoff has written the story of a true-to-life adventure that should not be missed.
This book describes a real event during the island-hopping phase of WW2 in the Pacific. In the steep mountains of New Guinea, a hidden valley was home to a large population of natives who had no knowledge of the world beyond the valley--until it was spotted from the air by fliers stationed at air fields along the coast. Soon, the valley was the destination of sight-seeing flights, but these only flew over, the valley having no place for a safe air field, and the rim of the valley being near the altitude limit of the available aircraft. To reach the valley, the planes had to fly a twisted path through passes in the mountains. One day, an officer decides to reward his staff, including a number of WACs, with a trip to see the valley in a C47. Then the trouble starts! The pilot is the only one who is familiar with the complex route , and he soon is distracted by socializing with the passengers, leaving the plane to an inexperienced co-pilot. They fail to clear a ridge, and the result is a fiery crash. There are 3 survivors, two of whom have serious injuries. This book is the story of how they survived and finally got home, To do so, they had to make their location, well off the intended course, known to searchers; deal with their medical needs; and deal with the natives, who vastly out number them, and for whom the chief entertainment is war among their numerous clans! This book is well written, and can be read as an real-life adventure story. It is also a cautionary tale of how a pilot's inattention can lead to disaster. Reading the accident reports that appear in Aviation Week, it appears that this still has not been fully learned.
I couldn't put it down, check the valley area on your tablet and the story really comes to life. I had my iPad next to the book. The Shangri-La Valley is pretty easy to find, it's so isolated. There's an air strip there now, so they've been in touch with the outside world for awhile now.Just after the crash, I couldn't get the story out of my head, so I had to finish it fast... Excellent, unforgettable book!
Living history at its greatest. This is an incredible story, a tribute to all those involved, and a fascinating study in the cultural collision between Western Civilization and a tribe of South Pacific islanders not very far removed from the Stone Age. Well written and obviously well researched, this is an account of a little known tempest in a remote corner of the proverbial teapot that was WWII in the Pacific. Perhaps the author's most significant achievement is his ability to tell this story in a relaxed and easily understood way while bringing to the fore in vivid mental images, the lush and unforgiving landscape, the nature and culture of the Dani people, as well as all the danger, fear, loss, uncertainty, courage, determination, and strength of will evidenced in this remarkable story.
This offering is filled with drama, the characters of this book HAD to live! Each scene, every chapter was a part of their lives, written on their souls! Now we, living in the 21 st century get to vicariously experience a small portion, of what it must have been like for them!I found myself reading when I should have been asleep. I haven't done that since I was a child, hiding under the covers, reading by the dull glow of the flashlight, praying my mom wouldn't catch me, at least not until I finished the next chapter! She usually caught me!Anyway, there's much to admire about these people, native and military, and the writer gives each person a complete fleshing out.Even the smallest detail, culled from old records, or a personal recollection was given its own liveliness.It took true grit to survive the incredible ordeal that was thrust upon them. They not only survived, they triumphed!The most poignant of all the scenes portrayed, is the solemn funeral service held in air.Not only did I thoroughly enjoy this book, I liked it so much, I sent it to a loved one as a present.
High in the mountains of New Guinea, lay a valley hidden from the world. The people there had lived for lifetimes secluded from the rest of the world. In 1945, they were "discovered" by a U.S. plane. When another plane filled with army personnel on a sightseeing flight crashed a few weeks later, the army had to come up with a way to get the survivors back home. Unable to land a plane, too dangerous to hike out, the only way to help the wounded was to send paratroopers in. They knew going in, though, that there was no clear exit strategy. I really appreciated all the anecdotes the author included, both tragic and humorous, that made this an enjoyable and interesting read.
