1.Burma Myanmar: What Everyone Needs to KnowBurma/Myanmar: What Everyone Needs to Know
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $9.82

Customer Review:
[Note: I commented on a draft of this book. The author is a friend of mine, but I have endeavored to keep this review objective.]

2.Quartered Safe Out Here: A Harrowing Tale of World War IIQuartered Safe Out Here: A Harrowing Tale of World War II
from Skyhorse Publishing
Price: $8.60

Customer Review:
George MacDonald Fraser's flawed, but interesting and entertaining recollection of his service in Burma during the latter stages of WW II are well worth reading on their own merit and especially so for his legion of Flashman: A Novel readers. Some slice of that readership will be particularly... more info

3.The River of Lost Footsteps: A Personal History of BurmaThe River of Lost Footsteps: A Personal History of Burma
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $4.44

Customer Review:
It seems like a real cliche to say that this book is fascinating, yet that is the word that best sums up my experience reading it. Before I picked up this book I knew virtually nothing about the history of Burma. I have traveled a fair bit in SE Asia and have spent a lot of time reading the history... more info

5.From The Land of Green GhostsFrom The Land of Green Ghosts
from New York, NY HarperCollins

Customer Review:
I've read many books about Burma and travel to the country frequently. From the Land of Green Ghosts: A Burmese Odyssey is simply one of the best. Unlike a lot of memoirs, it is both poetic and passionate at the same time. Pascal Khoo Thwe, who struggled with English when he fled the country, has... more info

7.The Burma Road : The Epic Story of the China-Burma-India Theater in World War IIThe Burma Road : The Epic Story of the China-Burma-India Theater in World War II
Price: $13.35

Customer Review:
This was a semi-dry book that was well worth the read, but pragmatically of probable interest only to history buffs. It was very informative, inspiring on various fronts with historical content that should never be forgotten by all Americans. A definite contribution via the author to the annals of... more info

Customer Review:
I am an instructor in the AARP Driver Safety Program. I talk about this book during class and have it in class for participants to look at. Imagine my surprise when a student stole my book! So I had to buy another one. The book gives the history of the Burma-Vita company and how they got started... more info

9.Defeat Into Victory: Battling Japan in Burma and India, 1942-1945Defeat Into Victory: Battling Japan in Burma and India, 1942-1945
from Cooper Square Press
Price: $13.41

Customer Review:
Slim takes us in defeat back to the borders of India where the imperial armies are retrained and re-equipped. This force then uses the Japanese strengths against them - their all or nothing attacks, and indifference to the suffering of their own men. A fin-de-siecle spectacle of Empire.

from HarperCollins|Smithsonian Books
Price: $8.12

Customer Review:
I haven't read the book yet, except for a few pages that mention Gerhard Neumann, whom I'm interested in. I'm puzzled that what Ford says about him is true, but misleading. He says "Then there was Gerhard Neumann...whom Chennault had befriended in 1939, and who now joined the AVG as a mechanic."... more info
