Singapore fell to the Japanese on 15 September 1942, but in 1941
Europeans on the island felt still untouched by war, lulled into
security by the belief that Singapore was impregnable from the sea.
However, the Planning Chief of Imperial Army Headquarters in Tokyo
had realised a successful invasion could come from the north, down
the Malay peninsula... Requests from less naive members of the
allied forces for more men, arms and equipment were not filled.
Authorities were unwilling to reveal to the civilian population the
true situation. And so through accident or miscalculation,
Singapore was totally unable to repel the Japanese attack. This
accessible book, illustrated with black and white photos charts the
course of these events.
