Viac o knihe

The book delves into the contentious narrative surrounding Operation Coldstore, a pivotal event in Singapore's history, which targeted Communist elements in 1963. It counters revisionist historians who argue that the operation was politically motivated and harmed legitimate opposition, particularly represented by Lim Chin Siong. By utilizing declassified and previously classified sources, the author defends the operation's significance in establishing stability and facilitating Singapore's rapid transformation from a Third World to a First World nation.
