For the British Empire it was a military disaster, but for Imperial
Japan the conquest of Malaya was one of the pivotal campaigns of
World War II. Giving birth to the myth of the Imperial Japanese
Army's invincibility, the victory left both Burma and India open to
invasion. Although heavily outnumbered, the Japanese Army fought
fiercely to overcome the inept and shambolic defence offered by the
British and Commonwealth forces. Detailed analysis of the conflict,
combined with a heavy focus on the significance of the aerial
campaign, help tell the fascinating story of the Japanese victory,
from the initial landings in Thailand and Malaya through to the
destruction of the Royal Navy's Force Z and the final fall of
Singapore itself.
