In May 1942 colonial Burma was in a state of military, economic and
constitutional collapse. Japanese forces controlled almost the
whole country and thousands of evacuees were trapped in a huge area
of no-man's-land in the north. They made their way to India through
the so-called 'jungles of death', attempting to trek out of Burma
amidst perilous conditions. Drawing on diverse and previously
unpublished accounts, Michael D. Leigh analyses the experiences of
evacuees in both Burma and India and critically examines the impact
of evacuation on colonial and Burmese politics in the lead-up to
independence in 1948. This study will be of particular interest to
students and scholars of Burmese history, 20th-century imperialism
and the global reach of the Second World War.
