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.","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67669511242027,"sku":"16723","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/the-battle-for-singapore","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
