In 1945, an incredible drama unfolded in the remote jungles of Borneo. It involved a group of US airmen, the local tribe of Dayaks, and Major Tom Harrisson, one of the most eccentric officers in the British Army, who revived the ancient custom of headhunting against the Japanese. Thrown together in extraordinary circumstances, these ordinary people from diverse cultures were tested: the airmen who had to survive in dense inhospitable jungle for months, the Dayaks, who risked their lives to help and protect the airmen and Harrisson, the anthropologist living out his fantasies, who committed what many consider to be a war crime but was decorated as a hero on his return to Britain.
