Reviews for Tank Tracks to Rangoon
4 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A workmanlike account of a neglected theatre. The Armour of XIV Army was useful, but severely limited by the terrain for the most part of the war in the Far East. this is a necessary book for the student, but not very engaging.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The role of armoured units and formations in the Burma campaign is often overlooked. This book addresses this issue with a well written, narrative text. Key battles are covered, with several personal accounts included. Well recommended if you are interested in the Burma campaign.
