Tank Tracks to Rangoon is a gripping account of one man's experiences during this harrowing campaign. Author John Masters served as a tank commander in the British Army's 7th Armoured Brigade, and his book provides a firsthand account of the fierce fighting, the brutal conditions, and the indomitable spirit of the men who fought in Burma.

Masters's narrative begins with the arrival of his brigade in Burma in early 1942. The British were woefully unprepared for the conditions they encountered in Burma. The jungle was thick and unforgiving, and the Japanese were a formidable enemy. Masters's brigade was soon thrust into the thick of the fighting, and he witnessed firsthand the horrors of war.

In one particularly harrowing scene, Masters describes the aftermath of a Japanese attack on a British column. The road was littered with the dead and dying, and the air was thick with the smell of blood and burning flesh. Masters himself was wounded in the attack, but he refused to be evacuated. He stayed with his men, fighting alongside them until the end.

The British were eventually defeated in Burma, and Masters was taken prisoner of war. He spent the next three years in a Japanese POW camp, where he endured starvation, disease, and torture. But even in the darkest of times, Masters never lost his hope. He kept a secret diary, in which he recorded his experiences and his dreams of freedom.

Masters's diary is a powerful testament to the human spirit. It is a story of courage, resilience, and survival. Tank Tracks to Rangoon is a must-read for anyone interested in military history or the human experience during wartime.
