| book description |
In fascinating detail, Dr Stephen Bull describes the slow and painful learning curve of the Allies in the mid-war years, trying to end the Japanese stranglehold on Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Based on the actual wartime training documents and front-line memoirs, he shows how the British, Australian and US armies transformed their tactics, attitudes and equipment to master the art of jungle warfare. In 1944-45 the Allies finally conquered the jungle environment, exploiting their new strengths and their enemy's weaknesses, to win crushing victories in Burma and on the Pacific islands. This vibrantly illustrated volume is ideal for any student of military history, wargamer or modeller.
