"From the harrowing adventures of the Flying Tigers and Merrill's Marauders to detailed descriptions of grueling jungle operations and the Siege of Myitkyina, Rails of War is the remarkable story of the extraordinary men of the 721st, who moved an entire army to win the war."--Bob Edmonds, McCormick Messenger, "An excellent insight into the Allied Force's actions to close out the China-Burma-India Theater."--Lt. Col. Joe M. Schotzko, Military Review, "An incredible look at the monumental task of these logistics superheroes. . . . These unsung members of our Greatest Generation worked miracles, and Steve Hantzis does a wonderful job capturing the danger, the difficulty, and the rewards in a very personal way. As a commander of our Flying Tigers in Desert Storm, I especially enjoyed the parallels between the logistics of World War II and Desert Storm."--Gen.

Gene Renuart, USAF (Ret.), "Readers with an interest in the CBI Theater or in railroading in general will find much to enjoy in Rails of War ."--Roger D. Cunningham, Journal of America's Military Past, " Rails of War makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of American rear-area support units and logistical efforts in the CBI Theater."--Steven K. Bailey, Michigan War Studies Review, "This is an excellent recounting which should appeal to, and enlighten, readers interested in expanding their knowledge of events in the CBI Theater.

Judge, On Point: The Journal of Army History, "This was a theatre of war . . . long forgotten and barely even known at the time.
