Lance Corporal Fred Goode was one of 50 men of Special Service Detachment II (Middle East) whose role in 1941 was to support Chiang Kai-shek's forces fighting in Japanese-occupied China and to train Chinese guerrilla units in demolition and resistance. This is his extraordinary story of being cut off behind enemy lines, and of a 2,000-mile walk towards India, only to be betrayed to the invading Japanese only 20 miles short of his destination. Tortured by the infamous Kempeitai, Goode was finally incarcerated as a POW in Rangoon's notorious Central Jail for the rest of the war.
