For the first time, three of Romen Bose's groundbreaking works have been brought together in one volume, providing a panoramic account of Singapore's experience in World War II.

SECRETS OF THE BATTLEBOX
Sealed off and forgotten until the late 1980s, the Battlebox beneath Fort Canning served as the British Command HQ in the last days before the fall. What actually happened in this underground nerve centre of the Malayan Campaign? Drawing on first-hand investigation, accounts of survivors, and top-secret documents, the author reveals the fascinating inner workings of the Battlebox.

THE END OF THE WAR
Having lost their "Impregnable Fortress" of Singapore, the British were largely diverted to the European theatre of war. But what went on behind the scenes as they prepared to return to the egion and, when the Japanese surrendered, to re-establish their authority? In unprecedented detail, this book captures the circumstances, events, and unforgettable cast of characters - from swaggering generals to clandestine resistance fighters - that attended the end of World War II.

KRANJI
A picture of serenity today, the war cemetery at Kranji is the final resting place of those who fought and died in the war. But it has been no smooth journey getting here. How are the war dead remembered in post-war Singapore - these men and women who gave their lives, heroes heralded and unheralded, and, till this day amidst them, a traitor?
