Book Description
When the Japanese invaded Malaya during World War II it seemed that John Davis’ service in the country had come to an end. But Davis switched from the Federated Malay States Police to the Intelligence world; first with MI6 and then with SOE. Illustrated with Davis’ personal photographs, the author tells the extraordinary, untold story.
