Download or read book The Japanese Occupation of Malaya written by Paul H. Kratoska and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan attacked British-ruled Malaya on 8 December 1941 as part of a wave of military actions that toppled the British, Dutch and American colonial regimes in Southeast Asia. Within seventy days, the conquest of Malaya was complete, and British forces in Singapore surrendered on 15 February 1942. The three and a half years of Japanese rule are generally considered to mark a profound transition in the history of the Malay peninsula, but little is known about this period. This book uses the limited administrative papers that survived in Malaya, oral sources, and accounts written by Japanese officers involved in the Malayan campaign to flesh out the story.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Singapore written by Justin Corfield and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-12-02 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of Singapore's small size, it has long had a major impact on the world because of its geographical location and its wealth. The British initially made the island a major port for the shipping of goods and later as an airline hub for the region. These factors, along with a steady government, have helped to contribute to the country's affluence. This multicultural, multiracial, and multi-religious island-nation is the envy of many countries in the world, which have tried to emulate the economic success of Singapore. The new edition of the Historical Dictionary of Singapore has been completely rewritten since the first edition was released 20 years ago. It relates the history of this country through a chronology, an introductory essay, an expansive bibliography, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, events, places, organizations, and other aspects of Singapore history from the earliest times to the present.

Book excerpt: Discover the remarkable history of the Malayan Campaign...Prior to December 1941, Great Britain commanded an empire that stretched across the globe. However, after the Malayan Campaign, which began on December 8, 1941 and ended on January 31, 1942, the world order was up for grabs as the Empire of Japan contested British rule and American military might in the Pacific in the early years of World War II. Influenced by racial stereotypes, the West initially failed to perceive the full expanse of Japan's growing power in Asia. That ignorance enabled the Japanese to begin the war in the Pacific against the Western Allied Powers, invading the British colony of Malaya after Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. From the beginning, the Japanese commanded both air and sea, while the British, Malayan, Indian, and Australian forces struggled to defend Malaya. By the end of January 1941, the Allies were retreating to Singapore, and Malaya was under Japanese control after nearly 50,000 troops belonging to the Commonwealth had been killed or captured. Discover a plethora of topics such as The ABCD Line The Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets December 8, 1941: A Day of Infamy The Battle of Jitra Retreating to Singapore And much more!

Book excerpt: "The guns of February did their grisly work in 1942, marking the final stage of Japan's Malayan campaign. They were fired by Japanese soldiers moving into the heart of the British Empire in Southeast Asia. And they were fired by British troops as they tried to fend off the Japanese." "To tell this story, Henry Frei wrote a book that reads like a novel, following a small number of Japanese soldiers through their mad dash down the peninsula and into the inferno of burning oil tanks and bursting shells that was Singapore shortly before the British surrender. But this is not a novel. The images and words are those of Japanese soldiers who experienced those fateful days, men who survived the guns of February but would be haunted by their echo for the rest of their days."--BOOK JACKET.
