    The Battle For Singapore: The true story of the greatest catastrophe of World War II

    Peter Thompson

    Formats & Editions

    The true story of the 'the greatest defeat and largest capitulation' in British military history.

For the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the island, Peter Thompson tells the explosive story of the Malayan campaign, the siege of Singapore, the ignominious surrender to a much smaller Japanese force, and the Japanese occupation through the eyes of those who were there - the soldiers of all nationalities and members of Singapore's beleaguered population.
