The Syonan Years: Singapore UnderJapanese Rule, 1942-1945

The Syonan Years: Singapore UnderJapanese Rule, 1942-1945

(Lee Geok Boi)

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 acompelling narrative, this book provides readers a wide perspective on the mosttraumatic period in Singapore’s history.

“In scope and specificity, (this) is one of themost ambitious releases in the past year or so and should be read by anyone whocares about why Singapore is the way it is today…There is the added fillip offresh wartime photographs from Japanese magazines, acquired only recently bythe National Archives here.”
