Description
A War of Empires: Japan, India, Burma & Britain 1941-45 by Robert Lyman In 1941 and 1942, the British and Indian Armies suffered a series of brutal defeats, with Japan dominating its newly conquered territories in Asia. However, a new era of resistance was emerging. The Indian Army, rebuilt and retrained, would play a crucial role in turning the tide of the war. The story of the Indian Army's contribution to the Allied victory in the east has long been overlooked by Western historians. Robert Lyman's book sets the record straight, detailing the Indian Army's hard-fought campaign and its significance in securing Allied victory. From the Japanese 'March on Delhi' to the final defeat at Mandalay in May 1945, Lyman recounts the key events and battles that shaped the outcome of the war. This book sheds new light on a pivotal moment in history, revealing the vital role that the Indian Army played in shaping the future of India and the region.
