Between Two Oceans: A Military History Of Singapore From First Settlement to Final British Withdrawal
Many books have been written about Singapores much vaunted position as a crucial maritime center along the East-West trading route. But one aspect of its history the military perspective has, for the most part, escaped serious scholarly attention. Between Two Oceans aims to fill this historical gap. Drawing on an impressive range of archaeological and historical sources gleaned from research and documents in Britain, India, Singapore, the United States and Australia, the book traces the geo-strategic development of Singapore from its first settlement in the thirteenth century, through the turbulent phases of the Early Modern period, to the dramatic military episodes that have been such a distinctive feature of the twentieth century. In presenting a balanced view of this momentous story, the authors have sought to dispel many of the myths about Singapores military history that have grown up in the past and are now assumed to be factually correct.
