It describes the zeitgeist of the time amongst overseas Chinese in Malaya and Singapore — in the prelude to and the aftermath of World War II and the subsequent struggle of independence in a world where they had hitherto been second-class residents. Due to the inherent secrecy of the clandestine Malayan Communist Party, many of the events described in the book were not previously known; events that the protagonist in his old age now wishes to record for posterity.","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047288308055,"sku":"9789811272622","price":42.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-insurgent-to-citizen-world-war-insurgency-and-confrontation-in-malaya-and-singapore-9789811272622","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
