A comprehensive and authoritative overview of the astonishing victory of the 14th Army, the 'Forgotten Army', against the Japanese in Burma in World War II where overwhelming victory followed initial defeat. The campaign is seen in the context of East Asian history, especially the astonishing rise of Japan from a medieval feudal state into a major industrial and military power in the space of a generation. It includes an analysis of what made the Japanese soldier such a formidable opponent and a sympathetic description of the Indian troops who formed the greater part of 14th Army, and of the African troops who made such a notable contribution. The complex relationships between the British and their American allies, and the power struggles which took place within the allied high command are analysed as are the characters of the principal commanders, notably Bill Slim, Orde Wingate, Mountbatten. ?Detailed specimen orders of battle and descriptions of equipment are provided along with a foreword by Colonel the Viscount Slim OBE DL Ref A4 5.
