Description
The surrender of Singapore in 1942, with the capture of over 100,000 men, was one of the most humiliating defeats in British history. Based on original records, this book shows what went wrong and how an outnumbered and poorly equipped Japanese invasion force swept to victory against a mixed British, Australian and Indian army.
