Unconquered has it all — everything you could ask for to experience the Amazon jungle vicariously. This incredibly well written adventure filled with pitfalls and close calls, encounters and egos, teamwork and tribulations, would be wise reading for anyone considering a journey beneath the canopy. Furthermore, any combatant command with an interest in jungle operations might do well to consider this for its reading list. Although the nomenclature of flora, fauna, and tribes differ between regions, the lessons of Scott Wallace’s jungle are universal.
This work has stunningly climbed its way into my top three reads of the year, joining Nick Brokhausen’s We Few and Ali Soufan’s Black Banners.
