Historians even believe that this was the last battle of the British Empire and the first battle of the ' New India' .Surprisingly little is known about the siege of Kohima, considered a game-changing event that altered the course of world history during the Second World War. His Majesty's Headhunters adds to our understanding of this battle and shows how it redefined a whole era. However, that is just the tale told so far by everyone except the Nagas. The real history of this battle-- which involved the Japanese Army, led by Lieutenant General Sato, and the Allied forces-- is yet to be recounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMmhonlü mo Kikon\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Kohima and studied literature at the University of Delhi.
