How did Slim recover from the defeat of 1942? A key factor was his mastery of people. In our Q&A, we discuss how he expertly managed difficult personalities like Stilwell and Mountbatten, recognising their challenges while building crucial relationships. #ForgottenWarPod #WW2 #Leadership

Did the Japanese have their own 'Forgotten War'? For Japan, the 1944 Imphal offensive (Operation Ugo) is seen as the "epitome of military failure". The disaster was so complete that it was essentially covered up. We discuss this in our new Q&A. #ForgottenWarPod #WW2 #Imphal
