Narratives and historical analysis on the study of the Battle of Kohima,1944.

Abstract

The Battle of Kohima is a notable incident in World War II history. The British National
Army Museum has ranked this fight as the most significant in British history. In spite of its obscurity,
the study of this fight reveals the significance it had for the end of the second world war. Seeing the
little hill town of Kohima engulfed in a cloud of smoke and ashes changed the course of the Nagas'
history; it was both harrowing and inspiring to see such a catastrophic event. This book contains the
testimonies of the few Naga war veterans who have survived to tell of their experiences of
compassion, sacrifice, devotion, and forgiveness. The purpose of this research is to raise awareness
of a little-known but critically crucial episode in World War II history.
