New York: St Martins Press, 1984. First US Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0312108583. Back fore cornerners a little bumped, short tear top DJ fore corner ; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. Illustrated with B&W plates and maps ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 686 pages; "Allen's work deals primarily with the human elements of the forgotten war waged between the doomed empires of Great Britain and Japan in Southeast Asia between 1941 and 1945. The author's familiarity with Japanese sources enables him to strike a balance unusual in Western accounts. Allen's Japanese are as much prisoners of their culture as the British are of theirs. They are victims of incompetent command and inadequate logistics. They do not want to die, but their ready acceptance of death lends a special horror to Allen's descriptions of some of the century's most vicious fighting." (Library Journal).
