The Special Operations Executive (SOE) in Burma: Jungle Warfare and Intelligence

Description: The Special Operations Executive (SOE) in Burma by Richard Duckett Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In the mountains and jungles of occupied Burma during World War II, British special forces launched a series of secret operations, assisted by parts of the Burmese population. The men of the SOE, trained in sabotage and guerrilla warfare, worked in the jungle, deep behind enemy lines, to frustrate the puppet Burmese government of Ba Maw and continue the fight against Hirohitos Japan in a theatre starved of resources. Here, Richard Duckett uses newly declassified documents from the National Archives to reveal for the first time the extent of British special forces involvement - from the 1941 operations until beyond Burmas independence from the British Empire in 1948. Duckett argues convincingly that `Operation Character and `Operation Billet - large SOE missions launched in support of General Slims XIV Army offensive to liberate Burma - rank among the most militarily significant of the SOEs secret missions. Featuring a wealth of photographs and accompanying material never before published, including direct testimony recorded by veterans of the campaign and maps from the SOE files, The SOE in Burma tells a compelling story of courage and struggle in during World War II Author Biography Richard Duckett is Lecturer in Military History at Reading College in the United Kingdom. He is an acknowledged expert on the Burmese campaign.
