Herman Perry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herman Perry (died early 1940s) was an American soldier and murderer who lived out an adventure of jungle survival, evasion, adaptation to the lifestyle of the Naga people of northeastern India and northern Burma, and two captures by the U.S. Army, before his eventual execution by firing squad.
His story was recounted in 2008 as Now the Hell Will Start: One Soldier's Flight From the Greatest Manhunt of World War II by Brendan I. Koerner; George Pelecanos called it [1] "A fascinating, untold story of the Second World War, an incendiary social document, and a thrilling, campfire tale adventure."
