The Syonan Years: Singapore Under Japanese Rule, 1942-1945
The Japanese Occupation in Singapore was a part of the theatre of the Asia-Pacific War and the Second World War, which was part of the still larger human drama of the twentieth century—the century of total war. Six decades after the Japanese defeat, there is continuing debate on how the war has been remembered or, in some cases, forgotten.Bringing together a wealth of historical materials concerning the Occupation as well as its beginnings and aftermath, and weaving them into a compelling narrative, this book provides readers a wide perspective on the most traumatic period in Singapore’s history.
