Between Two Oceans: A Military History of Singapore from the First Settlement to Final British Withdrawal by etc., John N. Miksic, Chiang Ming Shun, Brian P. Farrell, Malcolm H. Murfett (Paperback, 1999)
Drawing on a impressive range of archaeological and historical sources gleaned from research and documents in Britain, India, Singapore, 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 Singapore's military history that have grown up in the past and are now assumed to be factually correct. Between Two Oceans breaks new ground in revealing the difference between fact and fiction in Singapore's fascinating military past.
