Books, Manuscripts
¿́¿Drawing on an impressive range of archaeological and historical sources gleaned from research and documents in Britain, India, Singapore, United States and Australia, the book trace the geo-strategic development of Singapore from its first settlement in the thirteenth century to British withdrawal in the early 1970s. In the process, the authors managed to dispel many myths about Singapore¿́¿s military history that have grown up in the past and are now assumed to be factually correct. The book breaks new ground in revealing the difference between fact and fiction in Singapore¿́¿s fascinating military past." -- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 4th Edition - STAGE II: CPT 2 to MAJ 1 & MWO-SWO
