The True Story Of The Greatest Catastrophe Of World War II
The Fall of Singapore on 15 February 1942 was a military disaster of enduring fascination and seemingly unshakable myth. For the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the island, UK-based Australian journalist Peter Thompson tells the explosive story of the Malayan Campaign, the Siege of Singapore and the Japanese Occupation through the eyes of those who were there - the soldiers of all nationalities and members of Singapore's beleaguered population.
Written as a gripping narrative, the book uncovers the controversial truths that have remained hidden behind self-serving lies and distortions for 60 years.
