Description:

  1. This book examines an important World War II battle in Asia between Allied forces and the Japanese. The fate of Singapore was decided in Malaya.
  2. British surrender at Singapore marked the beginning of the end of British Empire in Asia
  3. Kaushik Roy demonstrates that the fall of Singapore to the Japanese force was not inevitable. This book shows that the defeat of the British Commonwealth force in Malaya was the product of erroneous tactcis, faulty doctrine and inadequate training.
