The story of Berma in WW2. The amazing efforts to supply China with material, lend lease, during WW2. Astounding efforts were made with primitive airplanes to fly over the 'hump', basically the Himalayas. At the same time the Berma road was being constructed, through a dense jungle and over tough terrain. The numbers of lives lost, and the corruption of the Chinese that allowed much of the material to end up in the hands of the Japanese is heart breaking. While the effort was astounding, the author cannot really justify the human and monetary costs.
