Reflections & Memories of War Vol 1. Battle for Singapore - fall of the impregnable fortress. The true story of the 'the greatest defeat and largest capitulation' in British military history. The Fall of Singapore on 15 February 1942 is a military disaster of enduring fascination. 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. An enthralling and perceptive account, which never loses sight of the human cost of the tragedy. Syonan - Living beneath the rising sun This is Volume 2 of the catalogue which complements the exhibition at the Old Ford Factory Museum. It unfolds the history and daily life of Singapore during its 44 months of Japanese occupation 1942-45. Archival photographs, memoirs, oral history interviews, recipes, newspaper cuttings, drawings, and other artefacts are brought together to show the experiences and daily life during that period of terrible upheaval and hardship for both the local population and the POWs. Vol 3 The liberation - Resisting the rising sun and a new beginning. Volume 3 marks the 70th anniversary of the Fall of Singapore and covers the development of the Indian National Army under the Japanese Military Administration in Singapore, the resistance to Japanese Occupation, the defeat of Japan in 1945, the restoration of British control of Singapore, war crime trials, the issue of the blood debt and how Singapore has strived to transmit the lessons of the Japanese Occupation to the younger generations. Great condition. Includes illustrations.
