The British military failure against the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1942 is a well-documented and closely examined episode. While attention is frequently drawn to the role of the Colonial Governor and his staff during this period, the actions of the civil authorities have not been subjected to the same rigorous scrutiny. In this book, Ronald McCrum undertakes a close examination of the role and the responsibilities of the colonial authorities both in the lead-up to the war and during it. He contends that the colonial government, by pursuing different priorities, needlessly created distraction and confusion. Additionally, the poor, even hostile, relations that developed between the local government and the British military hierarchy impeded a joint approach to the growing threat and affected the course of this campaign. McCrum displays how the inept management of civil defence led to unnecessary loss of civilian life.

Celebrating Fifty Years of Picador Books If a man has lost a leg or an eye, he knows he has lost a leg or an eye; but if he has lost a self – himself – he cannot know it, because he is no longer there to know it. In this extraordinary book, Dr. Oliver Sacks recounts the stories of patients struggling to adapt to often bizarre worlds of neurological disorder. Here are people who can no longer recognize everyday objects or those they love; who are stricken with violent tics or shout involuntary obscenities, and yet are gifted with unusually acute artistic or mathematical talents. If sometimes beyond our surface comprehension, these brilliant tales illuminate what it means to be human. A provocative exploration of the mysteries of the human mind, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat is a million-copy bestseller by the twentieth century's greatest neurologist. Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.

The Amazing Memoir that has the adventuresome spirit and redemptive honesty of 'WILD' and the absurd hilarity of the best David Sedaris essay!! Already a top 20 book in several categories! "I admit it. I failed foreign language class in Italy."...So begins this rollicking comic adventure where nothing is exactly what it seems. Structured around twenty-four Italian language classes, poet and photographer Jay Desind invites you on a quest that goes backwards and forwards through time, surprises with unexpected humor, and shows an emotional range and honesty in a framework of quirky invention. It's a memoir about the consequences of loss and the powerful redemptive things that happen when you immerse yourself into the accents, idioms, and traditions of other cultures. In the end, it is nothing what you expect and once finished, everything you wish you had experienced for yourself in a comfortable travel outfit. Lost in Language shares the bravery and unflinching honesty of Eat, Pray, Love and Cheryl Strayed's Wild. It's also absurdly funny like the best David Sedaris essay. What holds it all together is a unique authentic voice that takes the 'me' out of memoir and tells a universal story of finding yourself even when no one else is looking for you in the first place.Editorial Reviews "Shocking, Funny, and Never Boring." Kathleen Jones, Author of the bestselling book Catherine Cookson: The Biography "A Wonderful read...Always entertaining and surprising." Karen Divine, artist and author of A Small Amount of Courage"Praise for this impossible-to-put-down read! A poetic, humorous, deeply authentic Jay accompanies the reader through the pages of this book. It was as though I was watching a painter create his self portrait...back and forth adding new strokes of color, some dark, some outrageously bright...to the present and the past..." Rosamund Clarke, artist
