Further Readings

The three volumes on the China-Burma-India theater in the Army's official history of World War II provide a thorough, detailed narrative of the campaign in Burma. See Charles F. Romanus and Riley Sunderland, Stilwell's Mission to China (1953); Romanus and Sunderland, Stilwell's Command Problems (1956); and Romanus and Sunderland, Time Runs Out in CBI (1959). Charlton Ogburn, The Marauders, 2d ed. (1959), is a moving account of the theater's main American combat unit. For more on the Marauders, see Merrill's Marauders (1945), from the American Forces in Action Series, and Charles N. Hunter's bitter memoir GALAHAD (1963). See also John H. Randolph, Marsmen in Burma (1946), on the Mars Task Force, and William R. Peers and Dean Brelis, Behind the Burma Road: The Story of America's Most Successful Guerrilla Force (1963), on OSS Detachment 101. For more on Stilwell, see Barbara Tuchman's readable Stilwell and the American Experience in China (1971).
