“At the suggestion of some Australian listeners, I picked up Osmar White's book, Green Armour, which details his experiences as a war correspondent.”
Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: war correspondence and terrain
For: Readers interested in military history and environmental context
Key quote: “And he talks about the primeval nature of the jungle in this area and how it is a little like Jurassic Park in the sense that it, he said at one point that 10,000 bombers could drop their load in one of these valleys he was talking about, and it wouldn't leave a scar.”
The host mentions 'Green Armour' by Osmar White to highlight the immersive experience of being with troops during the war and the challenging terrain they faced. White's observations about the jungle and the native peoples provide a deeper understanding of the context in which these soldiers operated.
