Articles liés à The Forgotten Front: Burma and the Fight for Asia
À propos de l'auteur
Arjun Varquel approaches the history of war in Asia with an eye for how landscapes, institutions, and ordinary people intersect. His work is less interested in glorifying victory or defeat than in understanding how large plans are constrained by rivers, railways, climates, and the limits of endurance. In this sense, he writes as much about systems and relationships as about battles.For Varquel, the Burma theatre offers a particularly rich field for thinking about coalition warfare, imperial retreat, and the human costs of operating at the end of long supply lines. His prose is shaped by close reading of archival material, attention to operational detail, and a concern to keep civilians and local actors within the frame of analysis. The layered histories around the Bay of Bengal, where shipping routes, migrant communities, and military convoys once overlapped, provide a quiet but constant backdrop to his interpretation of events.In The Forgotten Front: Burma and the Fight for Asia, he brings these sensibilities together to offer readers a clear, disciplined account of how strategy, environment, and logistics interacted on one of the most demanding fronts of the Second World War. His aim is to equip students, general readers, and analysts with tools to think more precisely about past and future campaigns shaped by terrain, disease, and distance.

The Forgotten Front: Burma and the Fight for Asia (Hardcover)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The Burma front was where global strategy met its most unforgiving tests. Cut off from easy sea access, threaded with mountains and dense forests, and battered by monsoon, it forced every combatant to confront a hard question: could their grand designs for Asia be sustained at the end of such fragile lines of communication? The Forgotten Front: Burma and the Fight for Asia re-centres the Burma campaign as a pivotal struggle over logistics, health, and coalition cohesion rather than simply a backdrop to events in Europe or the Pacific.Moving from pre-war geography to the postwar settlement, Arjun Varquel traces how Japanese and Allied planners tried to impose their will on a landscape that resisted movement, punished neglect of disease, and magnified small tactical errors. He follows British, Indian, Chinese, American, and Burmese actors as they adapted to jungle warfare, experimented with air supply, and wrestled with the politics of sustaining a diverse coalition. Alongside operations at Imphal, Kohima, and along the Irrawaddy, the book examines refugees, coerced labour, and the wider civilian impact war had across towns, villages, and borderlands.Written for students of history and international relations, military professionals, and curious general readers alike, The Forgotten Front offers a clear framework for thinking about coalition operations and operational logistics in hostile environments. It shows how decisions about roads, airstrips, medical units, and intelligence networks often mattered as much as battlefield tactics. Readers will come away with a sharper sense of why Burma mattered to wartime Asia, how it shaped postcolonial trajectories, and what its demanding terrain still has to teach about the possibilities and limits of power projected over great distance.
