Thrilling true story of the Japanese siege of Kohima, India, in 1944.
In March 1944, the Japanese launched 100,000 men across the river Chindwin as a first step towards their long-heralded invasion of India. They made at once for the towns of Imphal, Kihima and Dimapur, all place on the only all-weather road running through the boundless tracts of jungle-clad mountains between Burma and India.
In Kohima, 500 soldiers withstood the Japanese forces for 16 days losing half their men. This books recounts the heroism and resourcefulness of these men.
