Few people realize that General Stilwellthroughout the greatest years of his careerwas almost blind. The explosion of an ammu-nition dump during World War I caused asevere injury to the left eye so that he couldnot distinguish the fingers on a hand at threefeet. The vision of the right eye requiredheavy correction and constant use of glasses.During the trying days in Chungking, as well asduring the jungle campaigns in Burma, it wasoften necessary to work by candlelight.
