Moon over Malaya - Jonathan Moffatt

What really happened in Singapore and Malaya during the dark days of December 1941 to February 1942? Britain's worst military disaster is looked at here in a new light using firsthand accounts from the men on the ground. Their story is told for the first time and is conclusive proof that some British soldiers did fight the enemy and, in fact, held them back for long enough to enable many to escape from Singapore to fight another day. The accusation that British soldiers in Malaya did not fight is put in its proper context for the first time.
