Description

Explore a definitive account of one of the most significant military events of the twentieth century. The Fall of Singapore 1942, part of the Routledge Library Editions: World War II in Asia, examines the events leading up to the Japanese takeover on 15 September 1942. This historical study investigates how the perception of Singapore as an impregnable fortress from the sea led to a false sense of security among Europeans on the island in 1941. While many believed they were untouched by the conflict, the Planning Chief of Imperial Army Headquarters in Tokyo had already identified a different path for invasion via the Malay peninsula. Readers will learn about the strategic failures that contributed to the disaster, including the unfulfilled requests for men, arms, and equipment from allied forces. The book also looks at the decisions made by authorities who were unwilling to inform the civilian population about the actual military situation. Through a combination of accident and miscalculation, this volume provides a detailed look at the collapse of defenses and the resulting impact on the region during World War II.
