Madagascar provided the stunning backdrop for one of the strangest conflicts of the Second World War, when Britain fought against one of its former allies. This book details this fascinating but little-known period of military history. Even at the time, the conflict was a controversial one, pitting two colonial empires against each other.

"Russell Phillips gives us a well-researched, enlightening, and skillfully detailed account of a little-known but clearly pivotal WWII operation that’s suited for both curious laypersons and serious researchers."—Steve Anderson, author of the Kaspar Brothers series and other WWII-era novels
"Though it was a world war it is easy to overlook some corners of the conflict. Madagascar was strategically important and controlled by Vichy France. Phillips has done an excellent job drawing out the story of the British-led invasion of the island."— Angus Wallace, host of the WW2 Podcast
