The Battle for Singapore The True Story of the Greatest Catastrophe of World War II is a historical book written by Mark Felton that tells the story of the fall of Singapore during World War II, one of the bloodiest battles in history. The book describes how the British colonial government's mismanagement and lack of preparation led to the downfall of the city-state, resulting in the deaths of thousands of civilians and soldiers. It also highlights the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought against the Japanese invasion. The book begins with an overview of Singapore's strategic location and its importance as a major port and commercial center in Southeast Asia. It then delves into the events leading up to the battle, including the rise of Japanese aggression in Asia and the failure of the British military to prepare adequately for a potential attack on Singapore. The author describes how the British government was more concerned with maintaining its colonial empire than with protecting its people, which ultimately led to their downfall. As the Japanese army advanced across Malaya and Indonesia, Singapore became increasingly vulnerable, but the British continued to underestimate the enemy's strength and capabilities. Despite warnings from local leaders and military officials, they failed to take appropriate measures to defend the city. The book describes how the Japanese used innovative tactics such as airborne troops and surprise attacks to outmaneuver the British forces, leading to a series of defeats that culminated in the surrender of Singapore on February 15, 1942.
Битва за Сингапур Правдивая история величайшей катастрофы Второй мировой войны - историческая книга, написанная Марком Фелтоном, повествующая о падении Сингапура во время Второй мировой войны, одном из самых кровопролитных сражений в истории. В книге описывается, как бесхозяйственность и отсутствие подготовки британского колониального правительства привели к падению города-государства, в результате чего погибли тысячи мирных жителей и солдат. Это также подчеркивает храбрость и жертвенность тех, кто сражался против японского вторжения. Книга начинается с обзора стратегического положения Сингапура и его значения в качестве крупного порта и коммерческого центра в Юго-Восточной Азии. Затем он углубляется в события, предшествовавшие битве, включая рост японской агрессии в Азии и неспособность британских военных адекватно подготовиться к потенциальному нападению на Сингапур. Автор описывает, как британское правительство больше заботилось о сохранении своей колониальной империи, чем о защите своего народа, что в итоге привело к его падению. По мере продвижения японской армии по Малайе и Индонезии Сингапур становился всё более уязвимым, но британцы продолжали недооценивать силу и возможности противника. Несмотря на предупреждения местных руководителей и военных чиновников, им не удалось принять надлежащие меры для защиты города. В книге описывается, как японцы использовали инновационную тактику, такую как воздушно-десантные войска и внезапные атаки, чтобы перещеголять британские войска, что привело к серии поражений, которые завершились капитуляцией Сингапура 15 февраля 1942 года.
La vera storia del più grande disastro della seconda guerra mondiale è un libro storico scritto da Mark Felton che racconta la caduta di ngapore durante la seconda guerra mondiale, una delle più sanguinose battaglie della storia. Il libro descrive come la cattiva gestione e la mancanza di addestramento del governo coloniale britannico abbiano causato la caduta della città-stato, uccidendo migliaia di civili e soldati. Ciò sottolinea anche il coraggio e il sacrificio di coloro che hanno combattuto contro l'invasione giapponese. Il libro inizia con una panoramica della posizione strategica di ngapore e del suo significato come un grande porto e centro commerciale nel sud-est asiatico. approfondisce poi sugli sviluppi precedenti alla battaglia, tra cui l'aumento dell'aggressione giapponese in Asia e l'incapacità dei militari britannici di prepararsi adeguatamente a un potenziale attacco a ngapore. L'autore descrive come il governo britannico si preoccupasse più di preservare il suo impero coloniale che di proteggere il suo popolo, portando alla sua caduta. Mentre l'esercito giapponese avanzava in Malaia e Indonesia, ngapore diventava sempre più vulnerabile, ma gli inglesi continuavano a sottovalutare la forza e le capacità del nemico. Nonostante gli avvertimenti dei dirigenti locali e dei funzionari militari, non sono riusciti a prendere misure adeguate per proteggere la città. Il libro descrive come i giapponesi hanno utilizzato tattiche innovative, come le truppe aeree e gli attacchi improvvisi, per scardinare le truppe britanniche, che hanno portato a una serie di sconfitte che hanno portato alla resa di ngapore il 15 febbraio 1942.
