Condizione: New. 2020 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1957). SB. xx + 568pp with 28 maps in colour and numerous contemporary photos.Published Price £45 The first of five volumes of the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War dealing with the war against Japan; this book describes the fall of Britain's Far Eastern territories: Hong Kong, Borneo, Malaya, and finally the fortress island of Singapore - perhaps the greatest single British disaster of the entire war. The authors pin the blame for the loss of Britain's Asian empire on the neglect of its defences between the wars, and on the Government's preoccupation with saving Britain itself in 1940. In the authors' opinion, 'the campaign in Malaya was lost beofre it begun', at least partly because of the ineptitude of the authorities on the spot. The book describes Japan's plans for imperial aggrandisement at the expense of vulnerable British and Dutch colonies in the region, and the rapid collapse of the European empires before the lightning Japanese advance. The loss of the British warships 'Prince of Wales' and 'Repulse', complementing the disasters onshore, and the disappearance of so many men - British, Australian and other Commonwealth nations - into the horrors of Japanese captivity, complete the sad story of one of Britain's lowest points in the Second World War. With 27 appendices illustrating the strength and structure of the forces engaged, the book is generously illustrated with 28 maps and sketches and 26 photographs.With our 2020 reprint of all the five volumes of THE WAR AGAINST JAPAN the colour maps and sketches are faithful to the originals and printed in full colour, a 254mm x178mm printing size has been adopted to allow little or no reduction to this exceptional colour cartography.

Condizione: New. 2020 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1958). SB. xvii + 541pp with 35 maps and sketches in colour, and numerous contemporary photos.Published Price £453 This, the second of the five books in the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War dealing with the war against Japan, examines the high tide of Japan's success, when her all-conquering armies threatened India itself - the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. The book opens with the British scrambling to defend Burma, gateway to India, after Japan's onslaught on Hong Kong, Borneo, Malaya and Singapore. Within weeks of Japan attacking Burma in December 1941, its capital, Rangoon, was lost and Britain was forced to look to India's defences. Despite a punishing monsoon climate and inhospitable jungle terrain, the British grimly held on to north-east India after the loss of Burma, and even made plans to hit back. The book looks at the controversial early campaigns of the Chindits, the guerrilla force conceived by the maverick and eccentric General Orde Wingate, a favourite oif Churchill's, and features two more conventional Generals who fell foul of the Prime Minister - Archibald Wavell and Claude Auchinleck. Supported by 33 appendices, 15 main maps and 20 sketch maps; the book is illustrated by 35 photographs. Official Campaign History, History of the Second World War. Book.…

Condizione: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1961). SB. xvx + 559pp with 25 maps and sketches in colour and numerous contemporary photos.Published Price £45 This third volume in the series of five in the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War which recount the war against Japan, has, in the words of its authors ' a brighter tale to tell' than the previous two - which narrated the disastrous losses of Hong Kong, Borneo, Malaya, Singapore and Burma. By late 1943 the tide of war in the Far East was turning, and the Allied High Command in the theatre under Lord Louis Mountbatten, began detailed plans to reverse Japan's conquests. At sea, from bases in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) the Royal Navy mounted raids on Java and Sumatra. In the air, flying from bases in India, the RAF challenged Japan's air supremacy. Above all, on the ground Allied armies stemmed Japan's attacks on Arakan and Assam, and decisively defeated them at the battles of Kohima and Imphal. The conventional Allied armies were supported by the celebrated 'Chindit' special forces trained by the colourful General Orde Wingate to operate behind Japanese lines, though the authors play down their achievement and criticise their campaigns as 'wasteful'. The book also describes parallel military developments in China and the Pacific which affected the campaigns in India and Burma. There are 30 appendices with details of the forces and logistics involved, and the book is illustrated with 15 main maps, 20 sketch maps, and 57 photographs.
