Description 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white), maps (black and white) Summary The British defeat in Burma at the hands of the Japanese in 1942 marked the longest retreat in British army history and the beginning of the longest campaign in the Second World War. It also marked a beginning of the end of the British empire, not only in Burma but also in south and south-east Asia altogether. There have been many studies of the military and civilian experiences during the retreat but this work looks at the way the campaign was represented through the western media: newspapers, pictorial magazines, and newsreels Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Audience Specialized Notes Online resource; title from home page (viewed on April 24, 2017) Subject World War, 1939-1945 -- Campaigns -- Burma -- Journalists World War, 1939-1945 -- Press coverage.
