Military Economics, Culture and Logistics in the Burma Campaign, 1942-1945 / Edition 1

by Graham Dunlop

Overview

Following the fall of Burma to the Japanese in May 1942, reopening and expanding the link from India to China through Burma became the allied force's principal war aim in South-East Asia. This book argues that the campaign's development was driven more by what was logistictically possible than by pure strategic intent.
