A detailed history of SACO-“the rice paddy navy”-the U.S. Navy's accomplished, top-secret, covert operation in China during World War II. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy knew it would need vital information from the Pacific. After a meeting and a handshake agreement with Chiang Kai-shek, the Sino-American Cooperative Organization was born. This top-secret network worked hand in hand with the Nationalist Chinese to fight the Japanese occupation of China while it intercepted Japanese code, laid mines, and trained Chinese peasants in guerrilla warfare. Its work supplied critical information to the U.S. and contributed to the felling of more than 70,000 Japanese – while losing only five of their own men. SACO – “the rice paddy navy” – was one of the best-kept secrets of the war. Linda Kush uncovers the military accomplishments and political wrangling that colored one of the most successful and little known efforts of World War II.

Some of the most exciting and heroic stories of World War II come from the exploits of Americans helping the Chinese resist the Japanese invaders - the Flying Tigers, for example and the pilots who flew the "Hump", the perilous supply route over the Himalayas from India. Here is the true tale of Clayton Mishler. A young Navy enlisted man, Mishler was on the ground with the Chinese forces in a unit that was one of the best-kept secrets of World War II, the Sino-American Cooperative Organization. Calling themselves the "Rice Paddy Navy", he and his fellow sailors lived off the land and ranged throughout China's spectacular countryside, training Chinese guerrillas, keeping the U.S. Fleet apprised of weather conditions and Japanese movements, and risking their lives on deadly ambushes. Mishler's adventures movingly display the bonds of friendship that were forged between the Chinese people and a small band of Americans fighting alongside them against the brutal Japanese Army. Sampan Sailor is a vivid personal portrait of China and of a young man's exciting war in an unforgettably exotic place.

With the need for large-scale amphibious landings to decide the outcome of World War II the US Navy developed several types of specialized unit to reconnoitre potential landing areas, degrade the enemy's ability to resist, and assist the landing forces on to the beaches. The Scouts and Raiders were the forerunners of the SEALs, Beach Jumpers made elaborate simulated landings to distract the enemy, the Naval Combat Demolition Units and Underwater Demolition Teams cleared obstacles to amphibious landings and Naval Group China fought alongside Chinese guerrillas behind Japanese lines. This book uncovers the fascinating history of these units, the unique gear they went into theatre with and the vital roles they carried out throughout the war.
