The featured volume combines archival photographs with an operational narrative of Gurkhas, Chindits, West African troops, British divisions, Chinese forces, and Japanese resistance. Its images make visible a multinational campaign that is often eclipsed by better-known theatres of the Second World War. The war did not end for Britain with Singapore: fighting continued in Burma and absorbed substantial Japanese strength. The book restores both the people and the operational scale of that frequently forgotten Allied army.
