Burma
: The Longest War 1941-1945
by Louis Allen
Book Description: Charting the whole Burma war, this book flows
like a novel from the high command to the sharp end setting out a myriad
of facts and considerations in a clear and coherent narrative. Ranging
far beyond pure military history the story is multi-layered, combining
objective analysis with a sensitive account of human reaction in the face
of bitter, cruel warfare, disease and an inhospitable terrain. Military
events are painstakingly detailed, and set in their political and cultural
context. Equal attention is paid to both sides of the conflict and the
insights made into Japanese plans and responses make the book uniquely
informative, exciting and moving.
'If one had to select one book about the Burma War, this fine work is
the best' Dekho, magazine of the Burma Star Association
'There will be few more thorough chronicles of World War Two's most
dreaded front than Louis Allen's Burma: The Longest War' The Listener

Wingate and the Chindits : Redressing the Balance
by David Rooney
Synopsis: Major General Orde Wingate, DSO and two bars, who
had created and personally led the Chindits (commandos, from the Burmese
word for a griffin) was killed in an air accident in March 1944, at the
height of the second Chindit campaign. He was highly praised, especially
by General Slim. But by 1956, Slim was dismissive of him in Defeat into
Victory, and the Official British History in 1961 was viciously critical.
What happened to change minds so completely? David Rooney examines the
life and achievement of a maverick soldier who inspired loyalty and devotion
in some, hostility in others. He presents facts that thoughtful, diligent
research has uncovered, to leave a broader impression of Wingate's colourful
career. The result is an intriguing portrait of a military mind of daring
originality, deserving of a better judgement in military history.
