Before World War II, Singapore was considered the most powerful naval fortress in the Far East. Its construction took 15 years and cost £60 million. However, on February 15, 1942, Singapore fell… This was a blow not to the navy or the army, but to the empire itself, its symbols, and its reputation.
But how did this powerful fortress, defended by superior British forces, capitulate after just a week of fighting? Did Japanese forces really blockade Singapore? How well was the fortress defended from land? What role did the superiority of Japanese air power play in the fortress's capture?
These and many other questions are answered by renowned military historian Vladislav Goncharov in his new book.
