A propos du livre

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.
