Moon over Malaya: A Tale of Argylls and Marines

Rating:
Summary: A tale of courage and sacrifice
Review: A well written narrative about the British troops fighting overwhelming Japanese forces as they withdraw into Singapore. Extraordinarily detailed and strong in the oral tradition of history. Plain to see that years of research and documentation gives the real truth of what happened on the front lines as the British Empire collapsed in Malaya. Authors also give vivid accounts of the prisoners used as slaves by the Japanese on the infamous "Death Railway." One can readily see the day by day account as these gallant men fought and died... and then were abandoned and falsely maligned by their country's leaders.
