Publishers Description: Singapore fell to the Japanese on 15 September, 1942. But in 1941 Europeans on the island felt still untouched by war, lulled into security by the belief that Singapore was impregnable from sea.However, the Planning Chief of the Imperial Army Headquarters in Tokyo realised a successful invasion could come from the North, down the Malay Peninsula
request from less naive members of the Allied forces for more men, arms and equipment were not filled. Authorities were unwilling to reveal to civilian population the true situation. And so through accident or miscalculation, Singapore was totally unable to repel the Japanese attack. - Blurb from back cover
