From the jacket flap: "When the turning point in the Burma campaign is discussed, the historic battles of Imphal and Kohima are most often thought of. 'End Game Burma' argues that General Bill Slim's masterly but risky plan to outflank the main Japanese army at Mandalay deserves far more prominence and recognition . . . a fascinating and overdue study of both general-ship of a high order and a decisive moment in the hard-fought Burma campaign." Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, 1st Viscount Slim (1891-1970), usually known as Bill Slim, was a British Military Commander and the 13th Governor-General of Australia.
