Lost In Shangri-La, by Mitchell Zuckoff From the blurb of the UK edition: "Three months before the end of WWII, a US Army transport plane flying over New Guinea's hidden Baliem Valley crashed into uncharted mountains inhabited by a Stone Age tribe. Nineteen passengers and crew were killed instantly. Two were mortally wounded. Somehow, three survived. [...] For seven weeks, they experience one adventure after another in this isolated paradise. [...] Rounding out the true-life cast is a rogue filmmaker who had left Hollywood after being exposed as a jewel-thief, a smart aleck pilot who flew best when his plane had no engine, and a cowboy colonel whose rescue plan seemed designed to increase the death toll." Great reading! CN
