His Majesty's Headhunters: The Siege of Kohima That Shaped World History (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780670096831)

Providing a unique perspective of Nagaland and its warriors, this book uncovers the untold story of the siege, regarded as one of the more celebrated battles of D-Day and often referred to as the ' Stalingrad of the East' by Western scholars. Historians even believe that this was the last battle of the British Empire and the first battle of the ' New India' .Surprisingly little is known about the siege of Kohima, considered a game-changing event that altered the course of world history during the Second World War. His Majesty's Headhunters adds to our understanding of this battle and shows how it redefined a whole era. However, that is just the tale told so far by everyone except the Nagas. The real history of this battle-- which involved the Japanese Army, led by Lieutenant General Sato, and the Allied forces-- is yet to be recounted.
