Need Help With a Project: British vs. Japanese in Burmese Jungles, 1942 (The Burma Campaign)

by TheRetroWorkshop

Need resources (books, lectures, etc.) for the aforementioned conflicts for both sides. Namely, I need good, in-depth sources for the tactics, weapons, day-to-day life, unit structures, and otherwise. Focus is on the (1941-1942) jungle warfare between the Japanese and the British Empire during the Japanese Invasion of Burma, with a further focus on how they actually lived and fought in the jungles at the unit-level, day-to-day, and more long-term, and the logicists involved for them at the local-level (meaning, not merely a list of basic facts regarding the Invasion, but a deeper understanding of the entire conflict and all that was involved, in a jungle warfare/life context). Thank you.
