Both in Malaya and Burma, the bulk of the British Commonwealth forces comprised Indian units. Few people know that by 1944, about 70 percent of the Allied ground personnel in Burma was composed of soldiers of the Indian Army. The Indian Army comprised British-led Indian units, British officered units of the Indian princely states and the British units attached to the Government of India. Based on the archival materials collected from India and the United Kingdom, Sepoys against the Rising Sun assesses the combat/military/battlefield effectiveness of the Indian Army against the IJA during World War II. The volume is focussed on the tactical innovations and organizational adaptations which enabled the sepoys to overcome the Japanese in the trying terrain of Burma. 410 0$aHistory of Warfare$v106. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zIndia 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xParticipation, East Indian 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$zEast Asia 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$zSoutheast Asia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xParticipation, East Indian. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 676 $a940.5354 700 $aRoy$b Kaushik$f1971-$0543942 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466311703321 996 $aSepoys against the rising sun$91993597 997 $aUNINA
