Try the book “Defeat into Victory”. It was written by Field Marshal Viscount Slim. Excellent detail about the operations around Imphal and Kohima. Covers the war in Burma from British defeat by the Japanese to the retaking of Rangoon near the end of the war.

William Slim, 1st Viscount Slim was quite a fellow. He is too often forgotten.
