Hardback. Etat : New. For forty-four months during World War II, the Japanese occupied Singapore, renaming it Syonan and setting out to drastically change life on the island. As part of the occupation, the Japanese created a research bureau, the Chosabu, to study occupied Singapore. The bureau's detailed reports on the economy covered prices, wages, currency, rationing, living standards, food production, and industrialization. Syonan's military and civilian administrators drew on them when formulating social and economic policies.The reports were notoriously difficult to read, and so this exceptional translation by Gregg Huff and Shinobu Majima is a true linguistic accomplishment.
