    The epic story of one of the most savage battles of the Second World War.

    Kohima. In this remote Indian village near the border with Burma, a tiny force of British and Indian troops faced the might of the Imperial Japanese Army. Outnumbered ten to one, the defenders fought the Japanese hand to hand in a battle that was amongst the most savage in modern warfare.

    A garrison of no more than 1,500 fighting men, desperately short of water and with the wounded compelled to lie in the open, faced a force of 15,000 Japanese. They held the pass and prevented a Japanese victory that would have proved disastrous for the British. Another six weeks of bitter fighting followed as British and Indian reinforcements strove to drive the enemy out of India. When the battle was over, a Japanese army that had invaded India on a mission of imperial conquest had suffered the worst defeat in its history. Thousands of men lay dead on a devastated landscape, while tens of thousands more Japanese starved in a catastrophic retreat eastwards. They called the journey back to Burma the ‘Road of Bones’, as friends and comrades committed suicide or dropped dead from hunger along the jungle paths.

    Fergal Keane has reported for the BBC from conflicts on every continent over the past 25 years, and he brings to this work of history not only rigorous scholarship but a raw understanding of the pitiless nature of war. It is a story filled with vivid characters: the millionaire's son who refused a commission and was awarded a VC for his sacrifice in battle, the Roedean debutante who led a guerrilla band in the jungle, and the General who defied the orders of a hated superior in order to save the lives of his men. Based on original research in Japan, Britain and India, ‘Road of Bones’ is a story about extraordinary courage and the folly of imperial dreams.

      An epic story.
    • 3/5
      Detailed book on jungle fighting between British and the allies with the Japanese. Excessive graphic as was the actual fighting.Biggest take away How British officers thought more about their polo ponies and good living rather than training Indian Natives how to fight.. when the need arose the natives thru no fault of there own could not respond as needed.Best quote in the book , speaking about Winston Churchill "I began to wonder whether Iin Alice in Wonderland, or whether I was really fit for a lunatic asylum! I am honestly getting very doubtful about his balance of mind andit gives me the cold shivers. ----I can not get him to face the true facts!"

      Very good narrative account of crucial battle of Kohima in 1944 to forestall Japanese invasion of Northern India. Good use of Japanese sources and attempt made to present unbiased account of the battle. The differences between the British commanders at Kohima , Laverty and Richards are revealed and the author places great emphasis on the help given to the British forces by the Naga hill tribes. The Japanese underestimated the British / Indian resistance ,which occurred at the battle and due to their lack of supplies and the defenders bravery suffered a catastrophic defeat.

      Just finished this detailed and well paced account. What is particularly remarkable about this work is that the author weaves research, the people, the story and anecdotes seemingly effortlessly together. The result is an informative and highly readable account, an almost from the bunker level view of the terribly hard fought siege, the build up , the aftermath and everything. Keane has conducted several in-depth interviews of some of the participants on both sides, and so results in a balanced account. My only bug bear is that the maps could have been a bit more detailed and legible, but its an insignificant quibble. The author follows the fates of many of the participants and as a result they and the book really come to life. After reading so closely of their trials and tribulations, in many cases their poignant fates, one feels one almost knows some of the fellows, it is a very much over the shoulder feeling, quite uncanny!Harrowing and moving. A triumph of war literature and bound to be a favourite for many years. It is also a fitting tribute to the men that died there in the epic struggle for survival and victory that was Kohima.This book should be read alongside other accounts for the fuller historical picture of the battle and the Burma campaign but certainly holds its head up high as a sterling effort.Highly recommended, one of the best WW2 books I have read.

      A very good book about the battle of kohima but trends towards just one part of the British side and almost misses out the whole of the relieving force - 2nd British Infantry division. Still and all though a very good book which is in my own library
