A study of the series of British defeats by Japanese forces, 1941-42, suffered by all three of Britain's armed services. The book considers the Japanese side of events as well as the British. Includes the loss of The Prince of Wales and Repulse, the fall of Singapore, the Malayan Campaign, the fall of Rangoon, and the retreat from Burma. The author attributes the main cause of the British disaster to the skill and determination of the Japanese.
