Slight moisture stain on inside front cover, title and contents page - all pages are separate. The truth about Operation Rimau was shrouded in mystery, covered up by officialdom.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 410 pp., illustrations, bibliography, index. In January 1942, the peace and tranquility enjoyed by Sabah for sixty years was shattered when Japanese invasion forces landed on both the west and east coasts. Vastly outnumbered, and compelled to lay down their arms without a shot being fired, the Sabahans may have lost the battle, but they did not give up the fight. On the west coast, local freedom fighters formed the Kinabalu Guerrillas, taking many enemy lives before their rebellion was put down with a series of bloody reprisals. On the east coast, determined to help overthrow the occupying forces, Sandakan's civilian population established an underground movement, taking enormous risks to assist European internees and then, a few months later, hundreds of Australian prisoners of war, transported from Singapore to build an airstrip. Fully aware of the consequences, in 1943 the underground workers also enabled eight Australian POWs to escape successfully to the nearby Philippines Islands, but the conspirators' luck did not last, and shortly afterwards they were betrayed. Many POWs and Sandakan people involved in subversive activities were subsequently rounded up and subjected to terrible torture before being sent for trial to Kuching, in neighbouring Sarawak, where those not imprisoned were executed by firing squad. Despite this, others bravely continued the work, either in Sandakan or from villages along the infamous death march track, or by joining Australian special forces operating behind the lines. The story of these courageous and resilient people, which has been virtually ignored for well over sixty years, has now been documented for the first time in great detail.

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good +. AUSTRALIAN MILITARYHistory of Z Force Rimau Raid on Singapore WW2.Operation RimauÂwas an attack onÂJapaneseÂshipping inÂSingaporeÂHarbour, carried out by anÂAlliedÂcommandoÂunitÂZ Special Unit, duringÂWorld War IIÂusing Australian built Hoehn military MKIIIÂfolboats.[1]ÂIt was a follow-up to the successfulÂOperation JaywickÂwhich had taken place in September 1943, and was again led by Lieutenant ColonelÂIvan LyonÂof theÂGordon Highlanders, an infantry regiment of theÂBritish Army.Originally part of a much larger operation calledÂOperation Hornbill,[2]Âthe aim of Rimau was to sink Japanese shipping by paddling the folboats in the dark and placingÂlimpet minesÂon ships. It was originally intended that motorised semi-submersible canoes, known as "Sleeping Beauties", would be used to gain access to the harbour, however, they resorted to folboats. After the raiding party's discovery by local Malay authorities, a total of thirteen men (including raid commander Lyon) were killed during battles with theÂJapanese militaryÂat a number of island locations or were captured and died of their wounds in Japanese captivity. A group of ten commandos were transported toÂOutram Road JailÂin Singapore after capture by the Japanese, were tried on charges ofÂperfidyÂandÂespionageÂin a JapaneseÂkangaroo courtÂand executed on 7 July 1945.[3][4] 314 p., [24] p. of plates : ill., maps, ports. ; 25 cm.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 2nd Edition. Sandakan A Conspiracy of Silence By Lynette Ramsay Silver. Publisher: Sally Milner Publishing, 1998, 2nd edition. Good softback, some creasing, no inscriptions, minor marks. The story of the Sandakan prisoner of war camp during the closing years of World War II. Of the 1793 Australian and 641 British servicemen held in the North Borneo camp and its surrounds, only six Australians survived. The Australians and British in the camp were mostly those captured by the Japanese during the fall of Singapore. The book details their last days of freedom in Singapore, their captivity, transfer to North Borneo and the appalling conditions in the camp, where they were forced to labour, day and day out, while being provided with little food. The Allies were aware of the location of these prisoners and the conditions under which they were suffering. A plan was put together towards the end of the war to rescue them, as it was known that the Japanese were eliminating prisoners of war as they were forced to retreat. The rescue attempt was bungled through incompetence. Almost all of the men died because of mistakes and stupidity in the senior ranks of the services back in Australia. More than 1000 could have been saved. The records were hidden so that the mistake would not be revealed.

Softcover. Zustand: AS NEW COPY! AUSTRALIAN MILITARY World War II -It is August 1945 and World War 2 is over. Japan has surrendered. As the Western world rejoices, deep in the jungles of British North Borneo the small number of remaining Australian and British prisoners of war are massacred. Of the 2434 prisoners incarcerated by the Japanese at the Sandakan POW camp, only six, all escapees have survived. The POWâs sent from Singapore in 1942-43 to work on airfield construction, endured frequent beatings, and were subjected to other, more diabolical punishment. Sustained only by an inadequate and ever diminishing rice ration and with little medical attention, many died of malnutrition, maltreatment and disease. In 1945, in response to an order from the Japanese High Command that no prisoners were to survive the war, those still able to walk were sent on a series of death marches into the interior. Anyone unable to keep up was ruthlessly murdered. Those left behind were systematically starved to death, or massacred. In late 1944, the Allied, aware that POWâs were being eliminated, had evolved a plan for their rescue - a rescue which, after months of bungling, was finally cancelled in April 1945, in the erroneous belief that the camp had b been evacuated. Gross incompetence and faulty intelligence were to blame for the failed rescue attempt. When it was realized that mistakes and stupidity were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of men, those at the highest level shifted the blame to others, before embarking upon a policy of willful and deliberate suppression. Lynette Silver, through painstaking research and interviews with survivors, as well as a study of Japanese records, has pieced together a detailed and highly readable account of the lives and ultimate fate of Sandakanâs POWâs. She tells a totally gripping and horrifying tale, not only of the prisoners, but the reasons why they, and their story, became World War 2âs most deadly secret. 528 p., [18] pages of plates : ill., maps, ports. ; 26 cm. #060226 ch. 1 Last Hope, Last Bastion ch. 2 Selarang ch. 3 To Sandakan ch. 4 White Coolies ch. 5 Living Dangerously ch. 6 Comings and Goings ch. 7 Disaster ch. 8 Japanese Justice ch. 9 `For The Duration' ch. 10 A Plan Evolves ch. 11 To Ranau ch. 12 `Annihilate Them All' ch. 13 `As The Situation Dictates' ch. 14 And Then There Were Six ch. 15 `And Not Leave Any Traces'? ch. 16 `A Most Regrettable Business'.
