About this title

Synopsis

To Stop a Rising Sun is a unique record of first-hand accounts recalling what life was really like for British servicemen and women in India, Burma and the Far East during the Second World War.
India was the jumping-off point to the Burma campaign and, to the untravelled Englishman and more especially to the British other ranks, it was a land of magic, mystery, maharajahs and mendicants. But the reality overshadowed the preformed impressions as they sailed across the Indian Ocean in sweltering troopships. There was no magic or mystery, maharajahs were thin on the ground, and there was a superabundance of mendicants displaying the most horrific and loathsome disabilities.
Within these pages the reader will find the British XIVth Army, the RAF, Royal Marines, the celebrated Chindits, 'V' Force, Combined Operations, Indian Airborne and the East and West African forces under the command of the SEAC and ALFSEA. To Stop a Rising Sun will appeal to all who served in the Far East during the Second World War, to their family and friends and to those with an interest in military history.
