Reviews
"A much-needed study of the Burma campaign in 1945 by the two foremost historians in the field. Not only do they chart the transformation of the Indian Army but also they relay the story of the forgotten African soldiers fighting in Burma. The authors demonstrate that it was largely due to the contribution of these troops that the Imperial Japanese Army was defeated by 1945. The book is extremely engaging and eloquent: an essential text for anyone studying the campaign. Its accessible prose makes it such a pleasure to read--it therefore deserves a much wider readership than just historians."-- Alan Jeffreys , author of Approach to Battle: Training the Indian Army during the Second World War "There is a stage in every topic when it becomes possible to produce a study that will be 'the' book everyone interested in the matter should read. That time has come, and The 1945 Burma Campaign and the Transformation of the British Indian Army is 'the' book. Callahan and Marston explain how and why the liberation of Burma in 1945 was the peak of military excellence for Allied combined-arms campaigns during the Second World War."-- Brian P. Farrell , professor of history, National University of Singapore, and author of The Defence and Fall of Singapore, "This superb book provides essential reading for scholars of the Indian army, the war in Burma, and the period just after."-- The Middle Ground Journal "The authors' account shifts fluidly from high-level command dilemmas to individual battalions and companies as they slogged through Burma's jungles across its central plains."-- War in History "Callahan and Marston have compiled a good survey of a complex and underappreciated subject."-- Army History "This is essential reading for anyone interested in the Asia-Pacific war, the British Empire's war, or the art of command."-- New York Military Affairs Symposium Review, "Callahan and Marston have compiled a good survey of a complex and underappreciated subject."-- Army History "This is essential reading for anyone interested in the Asia-Pacific war, the British Empire's war, or the art of command."-- New York Military Affairs Symposium Review, "This is essential reading for anyone interested in the Asia-Pacific war, the British Empire's war, or the art of command."-- New York Military Affairs Symposium Review, "A much-needed study of the Burma campaign in 1945 by the two foremost historians in the field.

Callahan and Marston explain how and why the liberation of Burma in 1945 was the peak of military excellence for Allied combined-arms campaigns during the Second World War."-- Brian P. Farrell , professor of history, National University of Singapore, and author of The Defence and Fall of Singapore "This is surely the capstone account of the Indian Army's remarkable recovery, regeneration, reorganization, and ruthless reconquest of Burma following the imperial nadir of 1942. Callahan and Marston expertly combine grand strategy with tactics and operational-level planning and execution, revealing the enormous endeavors required to allow the spear's tip, the XIV Army, to achieve victory. Following the action all the way through to deployments in Indo-China and the Netherlands East Indies, this is a sweeping history of action on the ground and all its challenges and the command structures, preparations, and innovations that enabled it."-- Ashley Jackson , professor of imperial and military history, King's College London, "Callahan and Marston demand our attention to be recentered on South Asia and the importance of this theater of the war. They make a convincing case."--- H-Net Reviews "This superb book provides essential reading for scholars of the Indian army, the war in Burma, and the period just after."-- The Middle Ground Journal "The authors' account shifts fluidly from high-level command dilemmas to individual battalions and companies as they slogged through Burma's jungles across its central plains."-- War in History "Callahan and Marston have compiled a good survey of a complex and underappreciated subject."-- Army History "This is essential reading for anyone interested in the Asia-Pacific war, the British Empire's war, or the art of command."-- New York Military Affairs Symposium Review, "The authors' account shifts fluidly from high-level command dilemmas to individual battalions and companies as they slogged through Burma's jungles across its central plains."-- War in History "Callahan and Marston have compiled a good survey of a complex and underappreciated subject."-- Army History "This is essential reading for anyone interested in the Asia-Pacific war, the British Empire's war, or the art of command."-- New York Military Affairs Symposium Review
