About this audiobook
This book tells the story of the triumph of the multi-national 14th Army in Burma during the Second World War, under the command of its inspirational commander, Lieutenant General Bill Slim. First published in 2004 it was republished in 2019. Reviews said: ‘’This is a first-rate book, and without doubt the best account of Bill Slim’s conduct of the Burma Campaign. It was said that Slim had ‘the head of a general and the heart of a private soldier.’ Reading Robert Lyman’s beautifully written and carefully researched account, we can see why.’ (Dr Richard Holmes) ‘Robert Lyman… asserts that Slim was the outstanding British general of the war. He is surely right.’ (The Sunday Telegraph); Lyman’s well-researched, elegantly written and beautifully produced book is the best yet written on Slim…’ (Times Literary Supplement); ‘Lyman is good on strategy… A former army officer, he is also astute on what it took to fight the war on the ground...’ (The Sunday Times)
