Now the Hell Will Start

Now the Hell Will Start is a compelling account of Herman Perry, a soldier caught in the brutal realities of World War II in the Indo-Burmese jungle, whose struggles with hardship and racism lead to a dramatic turn of events. Brendan I. Koerner spent years tracking down Perry’s story across India and Burma, revealing a forgotten chapter of history involving the GIs working on the treacherous Ledo Road. The narrative explores themes of resilience, injustice, and the complex human experiences amid war.
