Burma Mission, The

di David Burnell (Autore)

David Burnell, 2026

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. This is a true story. In the jungles of Burma—where landmines still line footpaths and entire generations have grown up inside an unfinished war—David Burnell answered a quiet call to go where no outsiders are allowed. A former Air Force veteran, Burnell crossed the border into denied Karen territory with no Government backing and no guaranteed extraction. His purpose was not combat, but service: to help complete the final phase of a combat-medic training program for people who have been hunted since World War II. What he encountered was far more than a mission. He met one-legged soldiers still standing watch despite landmines that had taken their limbs. He met a British scout from World War II, now a beggar, who offered the only thing he had left—a boiled egg. He spent long nights on a bamboo hooch listening to a Vietnam veteran quietly speak about the war that never truly left him. And he was followed each day by a silent boy with a spinning top, a child who said nothing yet spoke directly to the heart. This is not a war story about fighting. It is a war story about showing up. About choosing compassion when fear would be justified. About crossing borders others will not. About faith, carrying you where training alone cannot. In the Land of Broken Rivers is a firsthand account of service, endurance, and the quiet heroism of a forgotten people. It is a reflection on what it costs to keep going—and a reminder that sometimes the smallest hands leave the deepest marks on a life.
