Japan’s Last Bid for Victory: The Invasion of India, 1944

Fergal Keane, journalist and author of Road to Bones: The Siege of Kohima 1944 wrote to the author saying "What a triumph! I finished it last night. You have done a wonderful job. I only wish I’d read it before writing my own book!" He goes on to say "Robert Lyman is one of the great writers about men and war and in this book he has succeeded in conveying the courage, genius and folly of an epic struggle. I cannot think of a writer engaged in the subject of the Second World War who can match Lyman for his integrity or the soundness of his judgments."
