The true story of Britain's greatest military disaster. The fall of Singapore to the Japanese Army on 15th February 1942 remains a subject of controversy. How could Fortress Singapore have fallen so swiftly to a numerically inferior Japanese Army. Over 100,000 British and Australian troops surrendered to a Japanese force of 30,000. Where did the blame lie? Using eye witness accounts, and archives from Britain, Australia and Singapore the author looks at the distortions and controversial truths.
