The fall of Singapore in February 1942 was the largest capitulation in British military history, and Winston Churchill's 'worst disaster'. Only in 1993 were many crucial official documents released which paint the full picture.
Singapore: The Pregnable Fortress presents the full horror of the fall of Singapore. It goes beyond the documents to surviving participants who describe the conditions of the time: the attitudes and actions of government, the personalities of the leaders and the experiences of politicians, diplomats and servicemen. Nor does it neglect sources, two of which confirm how close the daring Japanese invasion of Malaya came to its own disaster.
