Product Description
First published in 1977, C. M. Turnbulls one-volume history of Singapore has been an essential resource for more than forty years. Turnbulls History provides a solid foundation for understanding of the two-hundred-year trajectory of Singapore from colonial outpost to world city. While many modern studies focus on current affairs or very recent events, emphasizing Singapores successful transition from the developing to the developed world, Turnbull connects this story to Singapores colonial experience under the East India Company and the British Crown. This new edition, building on two earlier thorough-going revisions, presents the standard history in a new and more affordable format for students, teachers, and anyone fascinated by the many stories of changing Singapore.
