Why did the British build the great naval dockyard at Singapore? Whey did it take them twenty years to complete it? What real plans were made to send the fleet to Singapore, and where was it to go after it got there? What role did Australia, New Zealand, India, Hong Kong, Malaya and Singapore play it the project? Why didn't the fleet arrive on time, and why didn't the American Fleet use the base: These are some of the controversial questions answered by Professor McIntyre after research in Canberra, London, Singapore and Wellington.
