Description
The Battle For Singapore recounts the true story of 'the greatest defeat and largest capitulation' in British military history.
The Fall of Singapore on 15 February 1942 is a military disaster of enduring fascination. For the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the island, Peter Thompson tells the explosive story of the Malayan campaign, the siege of Singapore, the ignominious surrender to a much smaller Japanese force, and the Japanese occupation.
Through the eyes of those who were there—the soldiers of all nationalities and members of Singapore's beleaguered population—Thompson brings the events to life with vivid detail and personal insight.
