Title: Among the Headhunters
Subtitle: An Extraordinary World War II Story of Survival in the Burmese Jungle
Author: Robert Lyman
Narrator: Derek Perkins
Format: Unabridged

Genres: History, 20th Century
Publisher's Summary:
Flying the notorious "hump route" between India and China in 1943, a twin-engine plane suffered mechanical failure and crashed in a dense mountain jungle. Among the passengers and crew were celebrated CBS journalist Eric Sevareid, a Soviet double agent posing as an OSS operative, and General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell's personal political adviser.
Against the odds, all but one of the 21 people aboard the aircraft survived - but they fell from the frying pan into the fire. They landed in wild countryside dominated by the Nagas, notorious headhunters who routinely practiced slavery and human sacrifice. Japanese soldiers lay close by, too, with their own brand of hatred for Americans. Among the Headhunters is the first account of this incredible story.
