Description

Between December 1941 and May 1942, the British Empire suffered a series of humiliating defeats in the Far East.

Three years later the Japanese were defeated by British and Commonwealth forces at Kohima and Imphal and in the battles for Burma.

This transformation in the fortunes was in large part due to the development of jungle warfare doctrine and the resulting improvements in training, tactics and equipment.

This book examines British Army conventional forces that fought in the Far East, showing how the dissemination of doctrine improved training, and helped 14th Army's infantry divisions secure victory.
