12mo, 15 pp. On watermarked laid paper. Very good, with slight wear to crease on first leaf damaging two words (both still legible). Otherwise text clear and complete. The item can be dated from a reference to 'a Dempsey-Tunney fight'. Although neatly written, the handwriting is so stylised that deciphering the text presents difficulties. Begins 'What a whirl since I wrote you on the boat before we landed in Rangoon [.] HOT. Yes! Right now it is 90 degrees in our room which has windows on three sides & there are two big fans going. [.] Here in Burma they are more like real old savages than anything we have seen. Huge men with heads shaved - half naked - painted faces & rings & in their noses'. 'We have seen 1500 pagodas - they are dotted almost everywhere. Nothing is ever repaired. It is a part of their religion. More merit is attached to building new. Their whole thought is that life - the old passes and the new comes - so that just pass along building new and let the old decay - and - as nothing is especially it decays quickly and the entire country is falling to pieces except for the new pagodas on every side.' References to a timber yard and a drive into the country. 'In the hotel a couple who interested us. They found to be French and are travelling about with a most extraordinary vaudeville act. 60 trained roosters. We went last night to see it, and it was as good as anything I have ever seen - in fact it is unique. [.] they did all sorts of things - tight rope walking bicycle riding - even a Dempsey-Tunney fight which was a knock-out! Referee - trainers & all the '.…

First Edition. 11 volumes. Small Octavo. 18cm. Publisher's uniform decorated card wraps in a variety of colors. Pagination varies, but between 34pp.- 60pp. per title. Some light soiling and scuffing in places; internally clean; all numbers very good or better. Nos. 2 & 3 are second printings, all others are first printings. A neat little collection of wartime (and immediately following) pamphlets intended to familiarize Westerners with the culture, socio-political systems, religions, wildlife, and economic influence of Burma. Penned by a variety of mostly British experts in various aspects of Burmese society they veer between being earnest and informative when discussing wildlife and natural history, and containing more than a fading echo of British Imperialist opinions and beliefs. A difficult series to complete; these copies in quite lovely condition.…

Soft cover. Fair. Exhibits wear along original fold lines. Verso repairs to fold separations. Closed tears extending three (3) inches within printed area professionally repaired on verso. Exhibits several small areas of infill. Size 37.75 x 32.25 Inches. This is a large format separately issued 1944 Robert M. Chapin Jr. map of northeastern India and northern Burma. The map depicts the simultaneous Japanese 'Operation U Go' and the 'Allied Myitkyina Offensive' as they were happening - thus representing the climax of World War II in Burma. Red lines in India mark the railway line connecting Calcutta with Dimapur and the airfields to Dimapur's north. These airfields were the only way for Allied supplies to reach Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese nationalists, as the Burma Road had been severed in 1942 by a Japanese attack. Dimapur was also the main communication link between Allied commanders in Calcutta and the troops fighting the Myitkyina Offensive. Both these facts made Dimapur a prime target for the Japanese. Parallel red lines into Burma mark the road from Dimapur to Kohima and Imphal, as well as the general direction followed by General Stilwell during the Myitkyina Offensive. Merrill's Marauders, Wingate's Raiders, and the Gurkhas and Kachins, all irregular Allied fighting forces, are referenced as well. The Japanese Operation U Go, and the Battles of Imphal and Kohima The Japanese launched Operation U Go on March 6, 1944 with the goal of capturing both Imphal and Kohima in India. Once those two cities had fallen, the Japanese planned to march on Dimapur and sever the railway sending supplies to Chinese nationalists, who the Japanese had been fighting in China since 1937. Hard fighting lasted through March and April, and in May the Allied IV Corps launched a counter-offensive that pushed the Japanese out of the area. By late June, the Japanese were in full retreat, its soldiers suffering from disease and starvation. The Myitkyina Offensive General Joseph Stilwell (march 19, 1883 - October 12, 1946) planned the Myitkyina Offensive, an invasion of northern Burma that resulted in the capture of the town of Myitkyina from the Japanese. Launched in April 1944, the offensive slogged through the monsoon season and ended in a costly months-long siege of Myitkyina, which finally fell on August 4, 1944. Stilwell was pleased with this result, but the soldiers under his command paid the price. One unit, the famed Merrill's Marauders, officially known as the 5307th Composite Unit, was so battle fatigued and disease ridden (a particularly virulent outbreak of amoebic dysentery severely hampered the unit's overall health) that the unit's medics continually asked for the whole unit to be relieved and sent to the rear to recuperate. Stilwell continually ignored these requests, and by the end of the siege of Myitkyina, only 130 combat-effective men remained in the 5307th, out of an original complement of 2,997.

Soft cover. Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Bears collection stamp from the Ashtabula Public Library in Ohio on verso. We have contacted the library and confirmed that it was legally deaccessioned. Size 44.75 x 16 Inches. Created during the beginning of the 1944 World War II Allied offensive to liberate Burma from the Japanese, this is a 1944 Robert M. Chapin, Jr. map of Burma. Two circular insets detail both battlefronts, commanded by American General Joseph Stilwell and British Admiral Louis Mountbatten. Red arrows highlight the Allied advance in both sectors. Stilwell's forces (depicted in the top inset) marched through northern Burma and reopened the critical Ledo Road, an overland supply route to Chiang Kai-shek's nationalist Chinese forces. Mountbatten's army (bottom circular inset) attacked Japanese forces farther south along the Indian Ocean. The China Burma India Theater The China Burma India Theater (CBI) was a second front for the Western Allies in the Pacific War. Burma, another British colony, was caught between British India and Japanese allied Thailand to the east. The Americans recognized India as a base of operations to resupply Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese nationalists in China. Kai-shek's fight against the Japanese bogged down hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, making them unavailable to fight against the Americans elsewhere in the Pacific. In Spring 1942, the Japanese launched an offensive aimed at conquering Burma and closing overland supply routes. This campaign proved successful, and the Japanese pushed the Allies out of Burma and back to India. The Burma Campaign of 1944 1945 The defeats of 1942, and subsequent losses in 1943, forced the Allies to reevaluate their plan going forward. In August 1943, a commando unit led by Major General Frank Merrill, 'Merrill's Marauders,' infiltrated Burma, where they utilized guerrilla tactics to harass the Japanese behind the lines. In February 1944, the Marauders attacked the Japanese 18th Division, allowing other elements of the American army under General Stilwell to gain a foothold in Burma. Following the Japanese defeats at Imphal and Kohima later in 1944, which stalled the Japanese invasion of India, the Allies began moving south in pursuit of the retreating Japanese. The Allies won victories at Meiktila and Mandalay before advancing on to Rangoon (Yangon), which was liberated in May.
