Willys43 Posted January 30, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2018 Hi all, I am currently looking for a new read and the CBI has always interested me. Are there any particularly good reads for someone who doesn't particularly know a lot about it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbtcoveralls Posted January 30, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 30, 2018 the best I've found is the series "confusion beyond Imagination" by William Sinclair Sinclair was on the staff of the CBI roundup (newspaper) during WWII and later wrote a pretty darned definitive history of the comings and goings in the CBI The CBI was vast and action was sporadic, so his series focuses on each element separately, Like the hump and the Ledo road and the B-29s etc in separate volumes I got through our awesome local Library and it was a revelation just how enormous the effort in CBI was The CBI roundup newspaper is also available online now http://www.cbi-theater.com/roundup/roundup.html Tom Bowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindit Posted February 16, 2018 Share #3 Posted February 16, 2018 I always thought that the Time-Life WWII series volume on the China Burma India theater was very good. some good color photos also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
