Description	The Japanese invasion of Malaya in December 1941 is one of the more heavily studied military campaigns in World War II. It has led to much controversy over how the British, Australian and Indian troops, well-prepared and numerically superior to their Japanese opponents, could so quickly lose the initiative, and then slowly and inexorably lose the campaign. With reinforcements arriving throughout much of the fighting, Arthur Percival, the British commander, was unwilling to risk his forces in a single battle which would determine the victor. After the Allied success at Kampar, followed by a withdrawal, the disaster at Slim River led to the Japanese outmanoeuvring their opponents in Johore, leading to the final battle in Singapore. As well as using accounts by many of the major participants, The Fall of Singapore incorporates recent research and thinking, also showing the effects of the fighting on the many Chinese, Malay and Indian civilians — so often neglected in military histories.

Description	“Tells the story of the two allied commando raids on Singapore Harbour in 1943 and 1944. The first, code-named Operation Jaywick, was declared successful because the entire team returned safely after attacking seven Japanese ships. But the Japanese blamed the raid on the local population, resulting in the Double Tenth Massacre on Oct 10, 1943, in which 57 people were arrested and tortured on suspicion of involvement in the raid. Fifteen of them were killed later. The second raid, known as Operation Rimau, was a similar but more ambitious plan to use a new submarine to blow up 60 ships. At the last minute, things went horribly wrong and, forced to split up and flee, everyone of the crew's 23 men perished. A fictionalised account of the raid was published which explained the deaths of 13 of the men, but the rest was shrouded in a mystery that Silver's book succeeded finally in throwing light upon. ” Straits Times, 4 May 2001
