Osprey Warrior Series:
CHINDIT 1942-45 - Jungle War In Burma
- Named after mythical
beasts guarding Buddhist temples, the Chindits were a specially organized,
equipped and trained body of men employing innovative fighting methods based on
ideas originally developed in Palestine and Ethiopia by their commander, Major-General
Orde Wingate.
- The two Chindit operations
(LONGCLOTH in February - May 1943 and THURSDAY starting in March 1944) were praised by
the press, but their contribution to the Allied cause remains controversial to
this day. This book examines the origins of the Chindits and the genesis of
Major-General Wingate's ideas about Long Range Penetration. The author
discusses the recruitment and specialist fighting methods of the Chindits
during 1943-45.
- Accompanied by
full-color illustrations demonstrating the distinctive dress, equipment and
weapons, this book assesses the contribution made by these elite troops to the
Allied victory in South-East Asia during World War II.
