Forgotten Voices of Burma: The Second World War's Forgotten Conflict |
A collection of oral testimonies from those who took part. It captures "what it was like to fight in the demanding terrain and climate of Burma; and . . . . to be confronted by the most formidable soldiers encountered by anyone in the Second World War - the Japanese"*. For me, it was a search for my father who was there and never spoke of it, for others it will be fascinating history. *quoted from the author's preface. (Jenny Baker - bwl 58 Autumn 2010) |
