Book excerpt: Published in November 2007 by Frederick Noronha on behalf of Goa,1556, (http://goa1556.goa-india.org), Stories of World War II continue to absorb the interest of the readers, and there are many books on the subject. In 1942, Goa was a neutral Portuguese colony in western India, and largely unaffected by the war. But there were many Goans living in Burma when the first surprise bombings of Rangoon by Japanese planes took place. This book tells the story of Goans in the Burma of those days. It is a collection of stories based on the horrors of the Japanese invasion in Burma between 1942 and 1945, and the subsequent exodus of thousands of refugees who fled to India.
