| Abstract
|
:
|
Charting the Chindits' operations against the Japanese in Burma in 1943-44, this book outlines the experiences of an elite unit of the British Army as they battled both the terrain and foe. It assesses the contribution made by these troops to the Allied victory in Southeast Asia which has proven to be a source of controversy ever since.
