The Burma Road.
Donovan Webster.
The Burma Road is the extraordinary story of the China-Burma-India theater of operations during World War II. As the Imperial Japanese Army swept across China and South Asia at the wars onset - closing Chinas seaports - more than 200,000 Chinese laborers embarked on a seemingly impossible task: to cut a seven hundred mile overland route across the Himalayan plateau, to be called the Burma Road, from the southwest Chinese city of Kunming to the railhead city of Lashio, Burma. They succeeded in less than two years. But with fall of Burma in early 1942, the Burma road was severed. It became the job of the newly arrived American General Joseph Stillwell to reopen it, while at the same time keeping China supplied by airlift from India and driving the Japanese out of Burma as the first step in the Allied offensive against Japan.
