Description: The author examines and evaluates the overall impact of the Japanese occupation of Sarawak on the indigenous peoples, the Chinese inhabitants and the minority European community. How each community responded and reacted to Japanese wartime policies is analyzed to gauge to what extent the occupation affected, positively or otherwise, the lives and attitudes of the people concerned.

Specifically this book examines whether the Japanese occupation initiated developments that transformed Sarawak's history, and asks if the Japanese occupation of Sarawak was a turning-point in the country's history or merely an interruption in Sarawak's overall development.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 133-141) and index.
