Nomonhan

 

I found this hardback in the local charity bookshop today and it looks really good, being a narrative style account of the Nonomhan / Khalkhin Gol conflict from the perspective of a variety of both the Japanese and Soviet participants. This is one of the conflicts that I'm really interested in and I hadn't heard of this book before, although I have read some of the author's other books including his account of the battles of Imphal and Kohima, which was excellent. I'll save this one for the Easter holidays in a couple of weeks time.

  1. Good find you got there.

    It is an interesting campaign in the way it prefigures later events.

    Cheers,
