"The Stalingrad of the East — a forgotten turning point that changed the course of World War II."

In the spring of 1944, deep in the jungles of Northeast India, two of the most brutal and decisive battles of World War II were fought — and largely forgotten by the Western world.

In Battle of Kohima & Imphal, author Terry Sloan brings to life the harrowing story of how a small, exhausted Allied force — made up of British, Indian, and Gurkha soldiers — stood their ground against the relentless Japanese 15th Army. What followed was a siege marked by unimaginable hardship, fierce hand-to-hand combat, and a fight for survival in one of the harshest terrains on earth.

This meticulously researched and vividly told account reveals:

• The strategic importance of the Burma-India front — and why it mattered to the outcome of the entire war.

• Firsthand stories of courage, sacrifice, and brotherhood from soldiers on both sides.

• How the victories at Kohima and Imphal marked the beginning of Japan’s long retreat in Asia.

• The lasting legacy of a campaign once buried in the shadow of D-Day and Normandy.

Whether you're a WWII enthusiast, history lover, or fan of forgotten heroism, Battle of Kohima & Imphal delivers a gripping narrative of one of history’s most extraordinary military confrontations.
