If you like history, get pissed off and are prone to a podcast then do check out History Rage, in which various eminent historians (and some riff raff like me) wax lyrical about myths, misunderstandings and let off some steam.

These are the men who shed their blood, Amongst the filthy Burma mud, On the Arakan Front and Imphal Plain, In blistering heat and bloody rain. Later on, in years to come, When you speak of battles fought and won, Remember these men who fought so well, And lived and died in that green hell.

Kimura Heitarō - commander of the Burma Area Army from August 1944, was a very different beast to his predecessor; willing to be tactically flexible to gain strategic advantage he proved to be a formidable opponent. And a war criminal responsible for the Burma Railway and deaths of 1000s of PoWs.

An M3 Grant* crossing a shallow chaung in Burma in 1944. The M3's 75mm would engage bunkers as infantry crawled in,.firing over their heads. Once close enough they'd switch to AP on the 37mm *The M3 was the Lee in US service but the British added a different top turret.

81st and 82nd West African Division, and 11th East African Division fought with distinction in the Burma campaign, doing things thought to be next to impossible by higher command, including long range patrols that were far more effective than the much celebrated Chindits.

such a superb book on the push into Arakan in 1945. I've been casting about for a dedicated account and was delighted to have found your tome, and even more delighted to find how well written and compelling it it. Brilliant work, thank you

Oh yeah, strong language. That'll do it. Always works. Just a reminder, they used to dirve kids on motorbikes into minefields because they didn't have mine detectors. Anyway, good luck.

I think Donnie, Pete and Sucky Sucky are all jolly confused. Having beaten Iran militarily in a few days it turns out they have not, in fact, beaten Iran. As a result the US seems to be the only participant in a war they seem to be losing. Impressive stuff

It's International Women's Day today, and naturally I forgot (doh!). It's worth saying a lot of women have a pretty shitty time so it's good to reflect on that as blokes, and see if you're helping or hindering. And before you ask Men's Day is 19th Nov....

It's all a bit mental isn't it? Like. What the fuck has happened to the relatively stable world? The big kid has gone mad on sugar and the rest of us have to watch as our former friend pounds on another victim. Sure they had it coming but he's lost it and anyone could be next
