I had never heard of the involvement of Burma in WWII. This adventurous and atmospheric novel is packed with great characters and dire situations.

RobES My grandfather was captured in Burma in WW2! I would love to read this! ❤️ 3mo

Man, am I glad I‘m done with this book. If this hadn‘t been for #BattleOfTheBooks I would have bailed before page 100. Absolutely nothing happened. 319 pages of nothing. 2⭐️

This... this is one of the best books I've ever read. I'm very interested in history so as soon as I found out what it was about, I knew I had to read it.

'Elephant Run' takes place during WW2. First, the main character of the book experiences The Blitz in London. After going to live with his father during the war, he faces the Japanese in Burma.

'Elephant Run' is a thrilling book riddled with unexpected twists, danger, and suspense.
