Sunset in the East. |
| Резюме: |
It is generally recognized that the war in Burma against the Japanese was as fierce as any. The Battle of Kohima was the turning point of this extraordinary campaign and personal accounts of the fighting there are greatly sought after. The author was in the thick of the action and his record is indeed a graphic and moving one.

A bitter war of national independence from the Dutch colonial power was underway and it became necessary to employ the defeated Japanese tro. |
