1. A War Of Empires
Japan, India, Burma & Britain 1941–45
A concise narrative of the India–Burma theater in World War II, tracing Japan’s push toward India, the rebuilding and adaptation of British-Indian forces, and the decisive battles at Imphal and Kohima. It emphasizes the pivotal role of the Indian Army, the contested loyalties around the Indian National Army, and the transformative impact of logistics and air power in jungle warfare. Weaving strategy, politics, and frontline experience, it shows how this overlooked front broke Japan’s momentum and accelerated the reshaping of empire and decolonization in Asia.
