This rich companion volume to Cecil Beaton's Chinese Diary and Album brings alive the experience of India and Burma during the Second World War. With words and images, he lets us see, hear, smell, almost touch the dusty Burmese countryside, the shimmering, casual magnificence of a Bombay virtually untouched by war, or the rain-sodden, flea-bitten front lines.
