Forgotten War

Although generally overshadowed by concurrent events in Europe, the British Empire and Commonwealth made major contributions on land, sea and in the air in the war against Japan. The culmination of 25 years of meticulous research and analysis, Forgotten War tells the story of this immense conflict. From the epic battles fought by the Fourteenth Army in India and Burma to the desperate struggles waged by Australian forces in Papua New Guinea and the major replenishment and interdiction efforts carried out by British/Commonwealth air and naval forces, the book reviews all related combat operations in this colossal struggle and demonstrates how these actions facilitated Allied victories across the Pacific and Southeast Asia.
