Atlas: Campaigns in the Eastern Theatre - Paperback

by Indian Army Records (Author)

The maps are full size and faithful to the original cartography in all respects, allowing the reader to follow the Second World War in the south-east Asian theatre, its battles, campaigns, assaults, skirmishes and retreats, as the fighting and its various phases developed month by month, and year by year. This is a very impressive map collection that should be part of every serious military scholar's collection THE ARAKAN OPERATIONS 1942-45 THE RETREAT FROM BURMA 1941-42 CAMPAIGNS IN SOUTH-EAST ASIA 1941-42 THE RECONQUEST OF BURMA 1944-45 The Indian Army fought in Ethiopia against the Italian Army, in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria against both the Italian and German armies and, after the Italian surrender, against the German Army in Italy. However, the bulk of the Indian Army was committed to fighting the Japanese Army, and this is the scope of this atlas, first during the British defeat in Malaya and the retreat from Burma to the Indian border; later, after resting and refitting for the victorious advance back into Burma, as part of the largest British Empire army ever formed.
