SynopsisThis classic history is the authoritative and most detailed book on an important part of the Second World War, Charting the whole Burma war, this book sets out a myriad of facts and considerations in a clear and coherent narrative. Ranging far beyond pure military history the story is multi-layered, combining objective analysis with a sensitive account of human reaction in the face of bitter, cruel warfare, disease and an inhospitable terrain. Military events are painstakingly detailed, and set in their political and cultural context. Equal attention is paid to both sides of the conflict with informative insights made into Japanese plans and responses.
