  • Summary

  • More than 80 years ago, the Fall of Singapore and the War in the Pacific touched almost all Australian households in some way. With Victory in the Pacific (VP) Day recently commemorated on August 15, we are joined by expert military historian Prof. Peter Stanley.

    Peter is a prize-winning historian and author of more than 40 books, who spent 33 years working at the Australian War Memorial (where he was Principal Historian) and the National Museum of Australia (as the inaugural head of its Research Centre).

    In this episode, Peter takes us on a journey through the invasion and occupation of Borneo and Singapore by the Japanese during the Second World War, and what we can expect to experience on a visit to these significant sites today.
