	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/China Burma India Theater of World War II
		China Burma India Theater (CBI) was the name used by the United States Army for its forces in China, Burma, India during World War II.
		The US forces in the CBI theater were grouped together for administrative purposes under the command of General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell, but unlike the other theaters in the war, for example the European Theater of Operations, it was never a "theater of operations" and did not have an overall operational command.
		However, by the time the last phase of the Burma Campaign began in earnest, NCAC had become irrelevant, and it was dissolved in early 1945.

	BURMA & INDIA IN WW II
		Japanese occupation of Burma in 1942 cut off the Burma Road, the last land route by which the Allies could deliver support for the defense of China to the government of Chiang Kai-shek.
		Operations in Burma during the last year of the war were left to the British, who were more interested in recovering Singapore than in taking Burma or helping China.

		From the fall of Burma to the Japanese in 1942 until the end of the war, the Allies strove to keep China supplied with matériel from India-by air over "the Hump," and overland via the Burma Road, which stretched 700 miles to the Chinese city of Kunming.
		While the war in China is neglected for a long period of time, The Burma Road effectively shows us the blood, sweat and disease that dominated this campaign.
		Webster tells the often-overlooked story of the China-Burma-India theater of World War II and the efforts of the Allies to keep the Burma Road open and to retake those areas captured by the Japanese.

	The Burma Road
		And despite being a three-star general in the U.S. Army and the commanding American officer in World War II's China theater of operations, he wore no insignias or badges of rank on his government-issue khakis.
		He and his group would have to hack their way to safety in India across 140 miles of mountains and jungles, with the Japanese chasing them all the way.
		But before he could reinvade Burma and drive the Japanese out, Stilwell knew the job at hand was to hike to safety in India.

		From the spring of 1942 until the war ended in August 1945, pilots' skills were tested as they crossed towering mountains in abysmal circumstances—violent turbulence, Japanese airfire, dreadful weather, malfunctioning airplanes—and with little sleep.

		The Burma Road is the extraordinary story of the China-Burma-India theater of operations during World War II.
		Webster's details of his trip to Burma indicate his true passion for the subject, but his emotions and opinions were left out of the history part of the book.
		He describes his own trips through the Burma Road, the difficulties he had, and is quite vivid in talking about the personal adventures he had while attempting to travel the road today.

	China-Burma-India Theater (CBI)
		The Allies' aim in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater of World War II was to supply and buttress Chinese armies in their struggle against a massive Japanese incursion.
		The Pearl Harbor attack at the end of 1941 spurred America into World War II, but it was an earlier American commitment to China that drew the U.S. Army into the Burma Campaign of 1942.
		Japan had invaded China in 1937, gradually isolating it from the rest of the world except for two tenuous supply lines: A narrow-gauge railway originating in Haiphong, French Indochina; and the Burma Road, an improved highway linking Lashio in British Burma to Kunming in China.

		For readers already familiar with the Burma campaign, Webster retells the activities of the commanders—Chiang, Chennault, Mountbatten, Merrill, and Wingate—from a perspective that is sympathetic to the caustic American General "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell.

	B-24 "MISS MANDY" in the CBI during WWII
		KUNMING, China, Jan. 26 (Delayed) (AP) - The United States Fourteenth Air Force's Liberator group, known unofficially as "the Liberators of China," may now be referred to publicly by its official designation, the 308th Bombardment Group.
		Weight was such a factor, that most of the armor plate had been stripped out of Miss Mandy when she arrived in the CBI Theater so the Liberator could haul more payload.
		The B-24 was not only used as a bomber but as a tanker and transport, and although it flew in all theaters of war, it was used most in the Mediterranean and Pacific, where longer range gave it an edge over the B-17.

		As the Imperial Japanese Army swept across China and South Asia at the war's outset--closing all of China's seaports--more than 200,000 Chinese laborers embarked on a seemingly impossible task: to cut a seven-hundred-mile overland route--which would be called the Burma Road--from the southwest Chinese city of Kunming to Lashio, Burma.
		While the allies' "grand strategy" for defeating Japan through China changed, there was still a need to keep China in the war.
		This was an enormous undertaking, from the United States to India to China.

	The Burma Road: The Epic Story of the China-Burma-India Theater in World War II -- book review
		Unfortunately for the Allies almost all of China’s sea ports were controlled by the Japanese, thus necessitating an overland route.
		This supply route running from Burma into China was to be called the Burma Road, and the job of keeping this umbilical cord to China in friendly hands was given to American General Stilwell.
		This book would have benefitted from more maps as the country of Burma is not well-known, the military maneuvers were complex, and at times the barrage of names of towns can be somewhat confusing.

		The book also describes the "epic story of the CBI Theater," but, again, much of the discussion is sketchy and many key details are omitted.
		The Burma Road, however, does not present enough new material to make it worthwhile for the expert, and the novice does not possess the background to pull together Webster's loose ends.
