"Mark Green is to be congratulated for this brilliant compilation of the29 Victoria Crosses from the Burma Campaign, nine from members of the British Army and 20 from the Indian Army, of whom nine were from the ten Regiments of Gurkhas. Their stories are ones of uncompromising sacrifice and courage in some of the fiercest fighting of the Second World War. In the words of Pericles, these men knew their duty, and did it. Green has carefully recounted the context in which these men were awarded the greatest of all British and imperial awards, many of them doing so posthumously. They must never be forgotten."
