Beast of Bengal is a World War II thriller and poignant romance set in the unlikely China-Burma-India Theatre. As the war rages, U.S. and British soldiers fight their own battles in the steamy jungles of Burma. But, in an American military hospital in Calcutta, something terrible is amiss. This historical fiction features the internecine battles for Indian independence between those advocating the violent removal of Westerners and those loyal to Mohandas Gandhi.
