pp. vii 160.”The book recounts the formation of the “C” Force and its departure to Hong Kong where it arrived just three weeks before the Japanese attack. It outlines the course of the battle from December 8, 1941, until the inevitable surrender of the garrison on Christmas Day. It places appropriate emphasis on the Canadian contribution, refuting 1947 allegations by the British General-Officer-Commanding – allegations which were only made public in 1993 – that the Canadians did not fight well. Greenhous attacks these charges with solid evidence from participants and eye-witnesses.”
