3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the general reader, December 25, 2009
This review is from: Kohima: The Furthest Battle: The Story of the Japanese Invasion of India in 1944 and the Battle of Kohima (Hardcover)
First of all, this book has fantastic reviews on amazon.co,uk and that lead me to buy it.
I am someone with a general interest in the second world war and was curious about the conflict as it unfolded in Asia. Previous books I've read on this subject would include Nemesis by Max Hasting and Forgotten Wars and Forgotten Armies, both by Christopher Bayly & Tim Harper; and I enjoyed these books tremendously. The reason I mention all this, is that I really didn't find the book very welcoming for someone with a general interest in the conflict; it's more for someone who really, really cares about this particular battle. Of course, I'll be the first to admit that the title is very specific about what the book's about, but it could have taken a greater breadth on the conflict in this front.

Again, if you have a driving interest in this battle, I am sure you'll love it.
