Özet
 As the fate of the world is decided, so too is that of the British, Dutch and French empires.

In India a generation committed to independence must decide whether to support 'the Raj' or fight alongside the Japanese. One military family is bitterly divided. Will it be the brother who serves under British command, or the one who follows Subhas Chandra Bose and his Indian National Army, who goes on to help build a new and free India?

In Borneo a little known Australian special forces campaign - secretly controlled from London - goes horribly wrong as questions are asked about whether its true purpose is military or imperial.

And in Indochina and the East Indies British Generals free and arm Japanese prisoners of war and use them in savage campaigns that aim to put colonial rulers back into their palaces.

Clearing away the haze of nostalgia, many uncomfortable truths emerge - but so too does a humane and balanced exploration of what victory in the Second World War truly means.©2025 Phil Craig (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Europe Great Britain Military Savaş Emperyalizm Japonya İmparatorluğu

I met Phil when he came to do a talk for the Bristol I/C (WHW), and he was so passionate. I have a signed copy of this, but this audiobook bought the story to life so well. It is refreshing to hear stories that are from theatres not commonly covered. Well done! Joe.

Gripping. Excellent story telling.

I saw the author give a talk about his book at the National Army Museum a while ago. Can't recommend highly enough but I find it incredible that we can hear about the worst depravities but NOT the contemporary racists slurs!

Great but why the censorship?

Genuinely fair appraisal of British Empire. Told with right balance of human character and wider picture

Fascinating and little known history
