Recenzii
Every so often new work emerges that dramatically changes how we view key aspects of the war, and A War of Empires does just that. Written with meticulous scholarship and from a deep and profound knowledge of the subject matter, it is full of wisdom, sound judgement and with a convincing and refreshing central thesis. Robert Lyman has unquestionably become the foremost scholar of the War in the Far East.
Rob Lyman has crafted a masterful analysis of the clash between two proud empires. A compelling read.
A fine, comprehensive and much-needed reappraisal of the pivotal Burma campaign in World War II. Exhaustively researched and engagingly written, it tells this dramatic story from the perspective of all the major combatants.
A comprehensive account of the Second World War campaign in India and Burma.
With deep knowledge, clarity and empathy for the tangled cast of remarkable characters involved, [Robert Lyman] has given us the best single volume on the campaign.
A masterful account not only of the longest British (and imperial) campaign of the Second World War but also, in a very real sense, of India's victory.
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.
This book is a triumph of scholarship, and better still an engagingly written one, and will deservedly become a classic text.
Meticulously sourced, a delight to read.
