Interesting at times but I think the subject deserves a far better writer and one with less emotional involvement. The Japanese were “Brave...” “..but exceedingly stupid”. The author thought that British imperialism was less ‘blatant' than that of other nations. Used the old analogy of “One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter” when trying to defend one enemy's actions against the paras but calling others terrorists and even hooligans at other times. Only recommended for those with a definite interest in the subject matter.
