About This Item
London: Coronet, 1994. Reprint. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. The Japanese overcame British defences in Malaya not only because of their superior fire power and military training, but also because of their meticulous preparation aided by intelligence from the country. Unknown to many, even after the 'treachery' was discovered, the Japanese had at least one mole amongst the British officer class. The British never made the affair public and the main records were lost in the fall of Singapore, but through piecing together reminiscences of survivors, the authors have managed to produce this amazing story. Very Good Hardback in a Very Good Dust Jacket 265 pages including a bibliography, an index and some black and white plates Weight: 0.8 kg Post free within Malaysia The dust jacket has minimal wear. The binding is tight, text clear and there is minimal tanning throughout.
