We Have Ways of Making You Talk

In this final episode in our Burma 44 series, Al and James turn their attentions a little further north and to the astonishing Battle of Kohima.


Surrounded and besieged, the small garrison held out but as Al and Jim discover, it was a very close run thing indeed, but this – and other heroics – ensured General Slim and his Fourteenth Army won a crushing victory from which the Japanese in Burma would never recover.
