  • Highly recommended for research libraries or those with strong collections in WW II.
    —Choice
  • A must for anyone with more than a superficial interest in this much overlooked theater. Rasor's excellent study presents a detailed illustration of the interplay between the many Allied powers and their different objectives. Rasor's superb book will surely be the prime reference work on this subject for years to come.

  • As are all of the author's previous volumes, this is another thorough, complete, and outstanding contribution that will be valuable for all research libraries.

Description: The China-Burma-India campaign of the Asian/Pacific war of World War II was the most complex, if not the most controversial, theater of the entire war. Guerrilla warfare, commando and special intelligence operations, and air tactics originated here. The literature is extensive and this book provides an evaluative survey of that vast literature. A comprehensive compilation of some 1,500 titles, the work includes a narrative historiographical overview and an annotated bibliography of the titles covered in the historiographical section. Following an introductory historical essay and a chronology, the historiographical narrative covers land, water, underwater, air, and combined operations, intelligence matters, diplomacy, and logistics and supply. It also examines the memoirs, diaries, autobiographies, and biographies of the personnel involved. Such cultural topics as journalism, fiction, film, and art are analyzed, and existing gaps in the literature are looked at. The bibliography provides both descriptive and evaluative annotations.
