Winner of the British Army Military Book of the Year 2011 The story of one of the most brutal battles in modern history -- fought at a major turning point of the Second World War. Kohima. In this remote Indian village near the border with Burma a tiny force of British & Indian troops faced the might of the Imperial Japanese Army. Outnumbered ten to one the defenders fought the Japanese hand to hand in a battle that was amongst the most savage in modern warfare. A garrison of no more than 1 500 fighting men desperately short of water & with the wounded compelled to lie in the open faced a force of 15 000 Japanese. They held the pass & prevented a Japanese victory that would have proved disastrous for the British. Another six weeks of bitter fighting followed as British & Indian reinforcements strove to drive the enemy out of India. When the battle was over a Japanese army that had invaded India on a mission of imperial conquest had suffered the worst defeat in its history. Thousands of men lay dead on a devastated landscape while tens of thousands more Japanese starved in a catastrophic retreat eastwards. They called the journey back to Burma the Road of Bones as friends & comrades committed suicide or dropped dead from hunger along the jungle paths. Fergal Keane has reported for the BBC from conflicts on every continent over the past 25 years & he brings to this work of history not only rigorous scholarship but a raw understanding of the pitiless nature of war. It is a story filled with vivid characters: the millionaires son who refused a commission & was awarded a VC for his sacrifice in battle the Roedean debutante who led a guerrilla band in the jungle & the General who defied the orders of a hated superior in order to save the lives of his men. Based on original research in Japan Britain & India Road of Bones is a story about extraordinary courage & the folly of imperial dreams. ...

This is the second part of John Masters autobiography: how he fought with his Gurkha regiment during World War II until his promotion to command one of the Chindit columns behind enemy lines in Burma. Written by a bestselling novelist at the height of his powers it is an exceptionally moving story that culminates in him having to personally shoot a number of wounded British soldiers who cannot be evacuated before their position is overrun by the Japanese. It is an uncomfortable reminder that Churchills obsession with special forces squandered thousands of Allied lives in operations that owed more to public relations than strategic calculation. This military & moral odyssey is one of the greatest of World War II frontline memoirs. ...
