The true story of the "greatest defeat and greatest surrender" in the history of the British army. The Fall of Singapore on February 15, 1942, is a military disaster with enduring interest. For the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the island, Peter Thompson narrates 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 present - soldiers of all nationalities and members of Singapore’s beleaguered populace. A gripping and insightful narrative, that never loses sight of the human cost of the tragedy - Yorkshire Evening Post. An informative and dramatic analysis - The Good Book Guide.
