The Final Curtain Burma 1941-1945

Jeremy Archer
In this book a very simple format makes for a wonderful read. It is simply a collection of real experiences which are the recollections of 41 men who served in Burma at some time between 1941 and 1945. Some had little or no contact with the Japanese, others took part in the bitterest fighting, all played a part in the final victory. For the reader comes a fuller understanding of a Second world war campaign through the stories of the ‘ordinary’ men who took part in it
The author, Jeremy Archer, has brought the book together in a very readable form with just sufficient supporting text. The narratives are also supported by some relevant maps, a very good glossary and a superb set of photographs.
We very highly recommend this book to all levels of readers.
