This is a much needed account of a largely forgotten campaign. * Lieutenant General Sir James Dutton, KCB, CBE * Betteridge-Dyson's expert eye picks out strategy, operational brilliance and all the extraordinary drama and detail of the war on the ground, at sea and in the air. This is a brilliant debut for a talented historian. * Robert Lyman, author of 'A War of Empires' * Jungle Commandos is a haunting and beautifully written account of a complex theatre a crucial contribution to our understanding of Burma in the Second World War. This is the sort of book that in the best possible way, you are not the same after reading. * Dr Sarah-Louise Miller, King's College London, author of 'The Lancaster Story' * This book is a superb balance of theatre-level strategic and operational thinking, tactical detail, and the personal accounts that bring any history to life. * Prit Buttar, author of 'Into the Reich: The Red Army's Advance to the Oder in 1945' * With the passion of a descendant and the objectivity of a scholar, Lucy Betteridge-Dyson has shed badly needed new light on the 1945 struggle for Burma, a campaign that did much to decide the future course of British involvement in Asia. Well written, absorbing, and highly readable. * John C. McManus, PhD, author of 'To the End of the Earth: The US Army and the Downfall of Japan, 1945' * Debut author Lucy Betteridge-Dyson has forged a vivid, scholarly tale of this unsung campaign that did much to decide the future of the war. * Unseen Histories *
