Into The Jaws Of Death

Bravery, Sacrifice, and the Untold Story of a Daring Mission

Into the Jaws of Death by Robert Lyman is a gripping and meticulously researched account of one of the most courageous operations of World War II—the Battle of Kohima and the desperate fight to halt the Japanese advance into India. At its heart lies the story of a small band of British and Indian soldiers who held their ground against overwhelming odds.

Drawing on first-hand accounts, official records, and personal testimonies, Lyman brings to life the intense pressure, fear, and heroism faced by those on the front line. He shines a light on the often-overlooked Burma Campaign and explores how the outcome of this brutal encounter helped change the course of the war in Asia.

When Defeat Seemed Certain, They Chose to Stand

With his trademark clarity and compassion, Lyman honours the bravery of those who walked willingly “into the jaws of death.” Into the Jaws of Death is not just a tale of military strategy—it is a tribute to the human spirit under fire.

Perfect for readers of military history, World War II narratives, and true stories of resilience and sacrifice, this book is an unforgettable chronicle of courage against all odds.
