The Imperial War Museum Book of the War in Burma 1942-1945: A Vital Contribution to Victory in the Far East

By Julian Thompson

Book Overview

The campaign in Burma was the longest and biggest ground war fought by the British and Americans against the Japanese. It was won in some of the bitterest fighting experienced by the Allies in the Second World War and included one of the longest retreats and one of the greatest Allied victories, Kohima-Imphal. The Allied forces serving in Burma were among the most multi-racial in the history of warfare. Using the Imperial War Museum's archives, this text provides a gripping picture of what it was really like to fight in this extraordinary conflict.
