书名：Road of Bones: The Siege of Kohima 1944 – The Epic Story of the Last Great Stand of Empire《骨头之路：1944年对科希马的围攻——帝国最后一个伟大据点的史诗故事》

英文简介：A great, well written book. Kohima was an epic struggle between British/Indian and Japanese forces in 1944. The Japanese invasion of India was their last major land offensive of WWII. A small, outnumbered British garrison held out for weeks against fierce Japanese assaults. The fighting was close range, often hand-to-had. Ultimately Kohima was relieved and the Japanese had to retreat due to lack of food and other supplies.

Keane does a masterful job of setting the stage for the battle. From the British retreat out of Burma in 1942 and increasing demands for Indian independence to the remote Assam region and Naga people. He is even handed in describing heroics of both British/Inidian and Japanese forces.
