Summary

Al Murray and James Holland introduce the extraordinary challenge of fighting in the Middle East. As Louis Mountbatten is appointed Supreme Allied Commander - he discovers a new jewel in the Empire’s crown: General Bill Slim. In this gripping series, they explore the extraordinary challenges faced by the British and Indian forces under the command of General Bill Slim as they confronted relentless Japanese offensives in the harsh jungles and unforgiving terrain of Southeast Asia. From the pivotal defence of Imphal and Kohima to the desperate struggle within the Admin Box, this series reveals the courage, strategy, and resilience that turned the tide in one of the war's most demanding theatres.
