Condición: New. 2020 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1958). SB. xvii + 541pp with 35 maps and sketches in colour, and numerous contemporary photos.Published Price £453 This, the second of the five books in the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War dealing with the war against Japan, examines the high tide o…f Japanâs success, when her all-conquering armies threatened India itself - the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. The book opens with the British scrambling to defend Burma, gateway to India, after Japanâs onslaught on Hong Kong, Borneo, Malaya and Singapore. Within weeks of Japan attacking Burma in December 1941, its capital, Rangoon, was lost and Britain was forced to look to Indiaâs defences. Despite a punishing monsoon climate and inhospitable jungle terrain, the British grimly held on to north-east India after the loss of Burma, and even made plans to hit back. The book looks at the controversial early campaigns of the Chindits, the guerrilla force conceived by the maverick and eccentric General Orde Wingate, a favourite oif Churchillâs, and features two more conventional Generals who fell foul of the Prime Minister - Archibald Wavell and Claude Auchinleck. Supported by 33 appendices, 15 main maps and 20 sketch maps; the book is illustrated by 35 photographs.

SB. xvx + 559pp with 25 maps and sketches in colour and numerous contemporary photos.Published Price £45 This third volume in the series of five in the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War which recount the war against Japan, has, in the words of…its authors â a brighter tale to tellâ than the previous two - which narrated the disastrous losses of Hong Kong, Borneo, Malaya, Singapore and Burma. By late 1943 the tide of war in the Far East was turning, and the Allied High Command in the theatre under Lord Louis Mountbatten, began detailed plans to reverse Japanâs conquests. At sea, from bases in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) the Royal Navy mounted raids on Java and Sumatra. In the air, flying from bases in India, the RAF challenged Japanâs air supremacy. Above all, on the ground Allied armies stemmed Japanâs attacks on Arakan and Assam, and decisively defeated them at the battles of Kohima and Imphal. The conventional Allied armies were supported by the celebrated âChinditâ special forces trained by the colourful General Orde Wingate to operate behind Japanese lines, though the authors play down their achievement and criticise their campaigns as âwastefulâ. The book also describes parallel military developments in China and the Pacific which affected the campaigns in India and Burma. There are 30 appendices with details of the forces and logistics involved, and the book is illustrated with 15 main maps, 20 sketch maps, and 57 photographs.

No Binding. Condición: Very Good. Two contemporaneous WWII typed circular letters, December 1944. Two original wartime typed orders/ morale circulars, both issued during the Battle of the Bulge, addressed to troops defending Bastogne, one signed by Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe, acting commander, 101st Airborne Division, and t…he other signed by /s/Roberts, praising the men of Combat Command B, 10th Armored Division. First letter: "Airborne - Merry Christmas", Headquarters 101st Airborne Division, Office of the Division Commander, 24 December 1944. A famous morale message recounting the German encirclement of Bastogne, reproducing verbatim the German surrender demand of 22 December 1944 and McAuliffe's legendary one-word reply - "NUTS!". The letter celebrates the stand of the 101st Airborne and attached units, frames the defense of Bastogne as a defining historical moment, and closes with McAuliffe's typed signature- "/s/McAuliffe, MCAULFFE, Commanding. Second letter: Commendation letter to the officers and men of CCB, 10th Armored Division, praising their role in stopping repeated German attacks in freezing conditions and noting the imminent relief of Bastogne. Typed signed "/s/ Roberts", with explicit referene to cooperation with the 101st Airborne Division. Both documents are typed on original WWII-era Myriad Onion Skin paper, a lightweight stock widely used by U.S. Army headquarters for field correspondence. The presence of this watermark is consistent with wartime examples. Wartime paper stock, stapled as issued, with expected age toning and handling wear but fully legible throughout. The two letters are period originals intended for unit circulation. Everything-paper, type, formatting, content and context- all aligns with a wartime unit-issued circular. The documents are historically significant. The defense of Bastogne and McAuliffe's "NUTS!" reply are among the most iconic episodes of the Second World War. Original wartime documents directly quoting or circulating the "NUTS!" message are scarce, especially when preserved in complete, readable form and accompanied by a related frontline commendation tying the 10th Armored Division to the relief effort. Condition: Very good overall; light toning, folds and staple marks consistent with field use. No losses; text crisp. Ships unmatted and unframed.
