A reading route into Britain's Far East war

What books are good starting points for Britain's Far East campaign in the Second World War?

Start with Slim on Burma and Andrew Boyd on the Eastern Fleet, then branch into specialist subjects.

The recommendation separates the land and naval dimensions without treating either as sufficient alone. William Slim's account is the starting point for the Burma campaign and the army's recovery. Andrew Boyd's study explains the Eastern Fleet and the naval contribution to victory in the Far East. Reading the two together gives a stronger foundation before branching into narrower campaigns, operations or services.
