ALLEN, LOUIS

Burma the Longest War, 1941

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).

The word “narrative” is the key to this extraordinary book’s incandescence and its truth. The story is told entirely from the point of view of the people involved in it. One learns not only what was happening on all fronts but also how the author discovered it during his years of exhaustive research. ". Very Good in Very Good dust jacket .
