JAPAN'S LAST BID FOR VICTORY: The Invasion of India, 1944

1-197300

Original documents, published works, and personal accounts to weave together an enthralling account of some of the bitterest fighting of WWII in Burma and Kohima and Imphal in 1944. Not only does Lyman use British sources for his research but he has also included material from the Naga tribes of north-east India, on whose land these battles were fought, and from Japanese accounts, including interviews with Japanese veterans of the fighting. Thus he has been able to produce what is arguably the most balanced history of the battles that were pivotal in ending the Japanese empire.
