Title: A Sudden Rampage: The Japanese Occupation of Southeast Asia 1941-1945.
Description: C. Hurst & Co. Publishers, 2001. Paperback. Describes the origins, the methods and the result of imperial Japan's occupation of Southeast Asia during World War II. While Japan launched stunningly successful military operations - such as the attacks on Pearl Harbor and Singapore - it found devising occupation policies that were suitable to the diverse regions under its sway after 1941 much harder. For some Japanese the invasion was a work of liberation; however - eventually, the people of the region liberated themselves. A touch of sunning to spine, previous bookshop stamp to half-titlepage, otherwise good condition. Bibl., Index. 286pp. ISBN 1850655847.
