- Synopsis
- The Building of the Burma Road, first published in 1945, is a fascinating firsthand account of the layout and construction of the famous Burma Road by the engineer who was put in charge of the job in 1938. The engrossing story describes the unique combination of native peoples, materials, tools, and machinery used to complete the road, and the extreme challenges faced such as lack of proper equipment, impenetrable rock, malarial swamps, dense jungle, and the outbreak of World War II. Included are 2 maps and 16 pages of illustrations.
