The war in Asia and the Pacific against Japan is often seen as an American affair. While the US did play a dominant role, the British and Commonwealth forces also made major contributions \\u2013 on land, at sea and in the air \\u2013 eventually involving over a million men and vast armadas of ships and aircraft.

Joining me to discuss Britain and the Commonwealth\'s war in the Far East is Brian Walter, author of\\xa0 Forgotten War: The British Empire and Commonwealth\\u2019s Epic Struggle Against Imperial Japan.

Long-time listeners might recall I discussed the war in the Atlantic with Brian in episode 127, and we looked at the naval campaign in the Mediterranean in episode 173.
