A captivating journey into the intense battles and Allied operations that aimed to reclaim control of Burma (Myanmar) from the Japanese forces. The Allied reconquest of Burma, which took place during 1944 and 1945, emerged as a remarkable chapter despite not being directly part of the Allied Grand Strategy. This remarkable achievement was largely due to the catastrophic failure of the Japanese invasion of India (Operation U-Go), which ended in an embarrassing defeat for the Japanese Empire in August 1944. The reconquest of Burma, one of the longest and most complex campaigns of World War II, encompassed a series of 11 distinct battles and offensives that formed an integral part of the overall Allied victory. Authored by a renowned expert on the British Army in World War II, this meticulously illustrated work provides a detailed account of the Allied operations to retake Burma from Japanese control. It includes captivating narratives of key events such as Operation Capital, the capture of Meiktila and Mandalay, the Allied advance in the Arakan, the race for Rangoon, Operation Dracula, the Battle of the Sittang Bend, and Japanese breakout operations across the Pegu Yomas. These events are supported by easy-to-follow 2D maps and 3D diagrams, enhancing the reader's understanding of the complex terrain and strategic movements. Vivid battle scene artworks bring these historical moments to life, showcasing the bravery and resilience of the Allied forces and the devastating consequences of the Japanese invasion. This captivating exploration of the Allied reconquest of Burma offers a profound insight into the strategies, tactics, and sacrifices made during one of the pivotal moments of World War II.
