Summary: "The fall, rebirth, and rise of the Indian Army, along with perceptive analysis of British-American combined warfare and logistics, make Triumph at Imphal-Kohima a valuable work that offers lessons for today's military. Callahan has written a readable study on rebuilding armies, combined warfare, and the importance of logistics at the operation level in an oft-overlooked theater."--Infantry "This is an excellent book, achieving not only its aim of creating a book for general readership, but also providing a valuable resource for scholars."--Journal of Military History "Callahan has written an excellent guide to military policy in the South Asian theater, with a salutary emphasis on the tenacity of William Slim and the bravery and skill of his multiethnic 14th Army."--Michigan War Studies Review "An essential read for those interested in the campaign."--New York Military Affairs Symposium "This is an outstanding, nuanced work that deserves a wide audience. Readers knowledgeable about the war in Burma will appreciate Callahan's insights and peeks inside the machine. Those less familiar with the subject--and the invasion of India in particular--will find this an ideal point of departure. All readers will enjoy the manner in which the author brings his subject to life with a crisp, incisive style and a wealth of deftly penned perceptions enhancing pages without impeding the narrative."--Stone & Stone Second World War Books. |
