Description
Published to coincide with the 60th anniversary of liberation of Hong Kong and VJ Day, this is the authoritative account of how the British, Canadian, Indian and Chinese defenders surrendered Hong Kong to the Japanese after 18 days of intense fighting, on Christmas Day, 1941.
It is thoroughly researched with exceptional access to war diaries and graphically written personal accounts, superbly told by an expert authority.
