At long last A War of Empires is coming out in paperback soon. Hooray!
Lots of people - other than me of course, my family and friends (and Toby Jones!) - think its a great book. I hope that you might also. This is what Professor Michael Clark said when it was shortlisted for the Wellington Medal (I was pipped at the post by Professor Richard Overy - harrumph!)
“Military history of the very best sort – detailed and accurate with real understanding of the military dynamics involved in the Burma campaign. It also shines in integrating the understood (and not understood) elements of grand strategy that lay behind the whole confrontation in the Asia/Pacific theatre. It's a terrific book.”
I cannot recommend this book too highly. Absolutely first class.
