• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A decorated British officer's wrenching and inspiring firsthand account of the worst battle of the Burma campaign. Lt. Col. Michael Lowry MC MBE, was awarded the Military Cross for his role in the desperate defensive action at Kohima, considered the worst of the campaign in Burma. After joining up in 1939 with the Queen's Royal Regiment, Lowry was posted to the North West Frontier of India, where he cut his teeth chasing gangs of Pathan bandits for two years. As the Japanese advanced into Burma, Lowry found himself fighting in the Arakan region, where his battalion was cut off by the Japanese for three weeks. Having survived that, next came the action at Kohima-where in the course of one week Lowry's battalion lost 173 members. Lowry was seriously wounded in the conflict but fortunately lived to tell the tale. This is a fascinating and inspiring book, one of the most action-packed memoirs of the war in Burma ever published.
