The lasting honour : the fall of Hong Kong, 1941 by Oliver Lindsay
A clear description of the fall of the city to the Japanese in 1941. As a Canadian I am happy with Oliver Lindsay's treatment of the battle.

At the going down of the sun : Hong Kong and… by Oliver Lindsay
The story of Hong Kong under the Japanese occupation seems poorly covered in the English speaking world. Lindsay is thorough and presents his material well. Sadly, he's a clear rather than lively writer. Read it for information.

The Battle for Hong Kong 1941-1945 Hostage to Fortune by Oliver Lindsay
One of my interests is the 20th century history of Hong Kong, where I lived for 10 years. I have started to write my second novel, with a probable title 'The Hong Kong Circle'. This starts with the the Japanese invading Hong Kong on the same day they attacked Pearl Harbour. Then the four years the expatriates spent in dreadful conditions in internment camps. This is one of the books I am reading for ideas as I try to write around historical facts
