In 1944, the British Fourteenth Army and the Japanese Fifteenth
Army clashed around the town of Imphal, Manipur, in North East
India in what has since been described as one of the greatest
battles of the Second World War. Over 200,000 soldiers from several
nations fought in the hills and valley of Manipur on the
India-Burma (Myanmar) frontier. This book is the first systematic
mapping of the main scenes of the fighting in the critical Battle
of Imphal. It connects the present with the past and links what
exists today in Manipur with what happened there in 1944. The
events were transformative for this little-known place and
connected it with the wider world in an unparalleled way. By
drawing on oral testimonies, written accounts and archival
material, this book revisits the old battlefields and tells the
untold story of a place and people that were perhaps the most
affected by the Second World War in India. The volume will be of
great interest to scholars and researchers of military history,
especially the Second World War, defence and strategic studies,
area studies, and North East India.
