Lost in Shangri-La
It was May 13, 1945, when 24 American servicemen and WACs stepped onboard a transport plane for a sightseeing trip over “Shangri-La,” a beautiful valley deep within the jungle-covered mountains of Dutch New Guinea. In Lost in Shangri-La, Mitchell Zuckoff reports the true story of what became an unforgettable battle for survival after the plane crashed.
Caught between man-eating headhunters and enemy Japanese, the wounded passengers endured a journey into the unknown that would lead them straight into a primitive tribe of superstitious natives who had never seen a white man… or woman. A spellbinding work of narrative nonfiction, Zuckoff’s book recounts an odyssey by turns terrifying, enlightening and strangely comic.

Best adventure book ever! 
April 19, 2012
I have never read an adventure book like this one--the fact that it's all true is astonishing! I couldn't put it down; in fact, at one point, I realized my hands were sweating as I held the book, because I was so anxious to find out what happened next. I've told everybody I know about this book, and they're all dying to read it. It is hands-down the most enthralling, amazing, can't-put-it-down book I've ever read--and I read constantly. This book has everything--everybody in it is an astonishing character. Buy this, you'll love it!

I don't usually read historical books, but this sounded so interesting. It was better than I could have imagined. Once you start it, you don't want to stop. The best part was the pictures and history of those involved. This is a book you read and will always remember. I was intertained, learned a lot about the country and its people. Great book!!!
