Description
Burma '44: The Battle That Turned World War II in the East
By James Holland, Atlantic Monthly Press, 2024
This gripping account of the Battle of the Admin Box, fought in Burma in February 1944, reveals a pivotal moment in the war in the Far East. A small group of British troops, bolstered by a handful of dogged Yorkshiremen and tank crews, successfully defeated a larger Japanese force, marking a significant turning point in the conflict.
Acclaimed historian James Holland sheds new light on this underappreciated yet momentous battle, which had far-reaching consequences for the campaign in Burma and the ultimate outcome of the war. A testament to human grit and heroism, the story of the Admin Box is one that deserves its proper place in the history of World War II.
