We remember the attack on Pearl Harbour and the atomic bombing of Japan during World War Two. Hundreds of thousands of British and Allied soldiers fought for years on the Asian and Pacific fronts against the Japanese in a brutal war. So why don't we remember it better today? The Second Map charts key moments in this other, lesser known war to mark the 80th anniversary of VJ day, through remarkable audio testimonies that have never been broadcast before, of soldiers and civilians on all sides.
