About the book (from dust jacket):

This book traces the development of Singapore form 1819, when the English East India Company established a trading settlement on the island, until 1975, which ended Singapore’s first decade as an independent nation. Based on research into government records, newspapers, private papers and secondary works, it provides the first full-scale history of modern Singapore.
