Discussed at length is the Malayan Campaign and the 'Singapore Strategy', with problems and events related to the pre-war period as well as the conduct of the campaign itself.  Highlights include extensive discussions on the reasons for Japanese success and British failure as well as Ground Zero perspectives from Japanese soldiers fighting on the island and civilians facing evacuation.
