General Miyazaki of Kohima and Imphal

[David_Aiken]

Aloha All,
Can anyone detail the history of Kohima and Imphal and what effect which a General Miyazaki played in those actions?
Mahalo,

Hi David
Try and get a look at "Burma.The Longest War" by Louis Allen, a paperback version was published in 1998 by Phoenix and might be available over the web if your local Library can't get a copy. Ch 4-The Base is devoted to the Imphal/Kohima battles and there many references in the index to Miyazaki during that period. The Author makes a lot of use of Japanese sources throughout the whole book.
Regards
Dick

Thanks, Dick,
I shall relate this to General Miyazaki's grandson during his visit to my home next month.
Cheers,

The book is still available on Amazon.com in both paper and hardback editions.

Thanks, John,
Wonder what General Miyazaki did? or didn't do? That might give us something more to talk about!
Cheers,
David
