This revisionist book compares and contrasts US and British naval
practice and war planning in the Far East during the pre-war
period. Drawing on new archival evidence, the author reveals
information about the state of war planning in both navies, which
radically challenges the conclusions of Marder, Roskill and others.
The terms 'Singapore Strategy' and 'Main Fleet to Singapore' have
carried with them implications that British Far-Eastern strategy
was devoted exclusively to the relief of Singapore, and that the
Admiralty was unconcerned about the area north of the Malay
Barrier. This book suggests otherwise. The author argues that
Admiralty planning had returned to a pre-war framework that called
for the rescue and relief of Singapore and Hong Kong together; the
Admiralty was not only concerned with the defence of the Malay
Barrier but also had a strong interest in the area to its immediate
north, and had already agreed to operate the fleet on arrival from
Manila.
