Imphal
By Lieutenant-General Sir Geoffrey Evans and Antony Brett-James
Published by MacMillan & Co Ltd: London 1962 (ist Edition 2nd Impression)

"Imphal by Sir Geoffrey Evans is a detailed account of the pivotal Battle of Imphal, fought in northeast India during World War II from March to July 1944. The book provides a first-hand perspective on the Allied defense against the Japanese advance into India, a turning point in the Burma Campaign. Evans, who served as a senior officer during the conflict, offers insight into the strategic importance of Imphal and the determined resistance mounted by British and Indian forces under severe logistical and environmental challenges. He describes the intensity of jungle warfare, the critical role of air supply, and the resilience of troops who were often cut off and under relentless attack.

The book also explores the broader implications of the battle for the war in Southeast Asia. Evans emphasizes how the failure of the Japanese offensive at Imphal and Kohima marked the beginning of Japan's retreat from the region. His narrative blends military analysis with personal observations, highlighting the courage, endurance, and coordination required to secure victory. Imphal serves not only as a military history but also as a tribute to the soldiers who fought in one of the most grueling and strategically significant battles of the Second World War in Asia."
