About this episode
Alex and Bryan welcome military historian and author Jack Bowsher to discuss “Thunder Run Meiktila 1945,” a triumphant and consequential campaign through the jungles of Burma. They’re also joined by a great friend of the show and decorated British Army combat veteran. Oh, and a key factor in the win was a 1/2-naked guy freezing his twigs and berries in a river.
