February 22nd, 1942. Private Thomas Bancroft crouched in a waterlogged foxhole near the Sittang River. Water reached his waist. He could hear Japanese forces 200 yards away moving through the jungle.
Behind him—one bridge. The only crossing of the Sittang for miles. The last obstacle before Rangoon.
The Burma Campaign—January 1942 to August 1945. Three and a half years. The longest campaign fought by British Commonwealth forces in World War Two. 1,000 miles of jungle, mountains exceeding 10,000 feet, monsoon rains turning roads into impassable mud, temperatures exceeding 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
This is the story of how 40,000 British and Indian troops defended Burma against 60,000 Japanese forces in January 1942. How Japanese outflanked every defensive position by moving through jungle British commanders believed was impassable. How the retreat began within days.

📚 Based on British War Office records, Japanese Fifteenth Army documents, Fourteenth Army war diaries, and survivor testimonies.
