Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. On September 11, 1944, the British submarine "Porpoise" slipped quietly from Fremantle Harbour, bound for Indonesia. It was carrying the 23 Australian and British members of Operation Rimau who, under the leadership of the remarkable Lieutenant-Colonel Ivan Lyon of the Gordon Highlanders, intended to repeat the successful Jaywick raid of 1943 by blowing up 60 ships in Japanese-occupied Singapore Harbour, 19 days later, the preliminary part of the operation successfully completed, the submarine commander bade farewell to the raiders at Pedjantan Island, promising to return to pick them up in 38 days' time. A handful of Chinese and Malays and the conquering Japanese were the only people ever to see the 23 men again. According to the scant official post-war record, the mission was an utter failure. All of the party were captured of killed - ten of them beheaded in Singapore only five weeks before the Japanese surrender in, it was claimed, a ceremonial execution. The fate of eleven of the others remains officially unknown. After a 31 year search, Major Tom Hall, with the assistance of writer Lynette Silver, has overturned the official version and uncovered the truth. Aided by thousands of Japanese and Allied documents and by the first-hand accounts of several Indonesians and Malays, sole witnesses to the events of 1944, they have established the fate of every member of the party and unravelled the story of "The Heros of Rimau" - a story that has for 45 years been all but lost, distorted by hearsay and fantasy, by military cover-ups and conspiracy, by official bungling, ineptitude and apathy. This book not only chronicles a feat of extraordinary daring in the face of overwhelming odds - a gripping tale of inspired courage, self-sacrifice and eventual tragedy - it also exposes the appalling sequence of events which has, until now, resulted in the shameful suppression of the truth about one of the most amazing stories to emerge from World War II. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

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: 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.

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'.
