Recensioner i media

'The authors are to be commended on synthesizing a wide range of Japanese primary and secondary sources for the anglophone world, and this clearly written book will serve as a jumping-off point for further studies.' - Nicholas J. White, Liverpool John Moores University, UK'the authors are to be commended for drawing on a wide range of unpublished archival material and including numerous maps and photographs of early twentieht-century Singapore. In addition, the link made between the economic, social and political dimensions of Japan's relations with Singapore renders this book recommended reading for those interested in the historical relations between two of East Asia's economic achievers.' - Asian Studies Review
