Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India: Kitabistan, c1944. Presumed First Indian Edition, First printing. Hardcover. [8], 330 pages. Some endpaper discoloration. Cover worn and soiled. The name of a previous owner and a note from her to her father are in ink on the front endpaper. She was in the Army Nurse Corps. She tells her father that "This book gives a good account of what went on in the area we are very interested in, a year or so before we got here. Now that we have just about all of Burma back in Allied hands, it makes a very interesting story. Don't laugh at my notes--they are for comparison of today and then." There are numerous ink notes/comments in the margins, and a small amount of underlining/marks to text. This is a rare copy with contemporary knowledgeable commentary. There is a Publishers' Note. Mr. Burchett came out to India to cover the Sino-Japanese war, and drifted into Burma with the Chinese Army. He has much to say about the factors which led to the fall of Burma. He relates first hand incidents which led to the evacuation of the country. The author throws a search-light on the faults of the campaign. The book contains 23 chapters. Wilfred Graham Burchett (16 September 1911 – 27 September 1983) was an Australian journalist known for being the first western journalist to report from Hiroshima after the dropping of the atomic bomb, and for his reporting from "the other side" during the wars in Korea and Vietnam. Burchett began his journalism at the start of the Second World War, during which he reported from China, Burma and Japan and covered the war in the Pacific. After the war he reported on the trials in Hungary, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and on Cambodia. More
