“Shadows in the Jungle is one of those rare works of nonfiction
that does indeed read like a novel and also sheds light on a heroic
and almost unknown group of men, while reminding us of just how
brutal and unforgiving the war in the Southwest Pacific
was.”—Michael Korda, New York Times Bestselling Author
of Ike: An American Hero and Clouds of Glory: The Life and
Legend of Robert E. Lee
“A tale that is always gripping if frequently gruesome… Employing a
gritty, up-close style that gives the narrative the feel of a
novel, Alexander combines, to great effect, personal testimonies of
Scouts he interviewed with official accounts of their deeds. While
the details of the teams’ exploits are not often pretty, the
telling rings true. As readers follow different Alamo teams around
the southwest Pacific, they will find themselves rooting for these
men as if they know them—not that the Scouts needed any help.”—ARMY
