Charles Evans records his passage from idyllic youth, fresh from Oxford in 1939, into the harsh reality of a junior doctor in Burma. Beautifully written and elegantly vivid, his diaries illuminate the progress of this ugly campaign while his post-war life saw ground-breaking work as a mountaineer, eventually rewarded by a knighthood.
