"Known for editing a landmark encyclopedia on Southeast Asia, in this work Ooi Keat Gin focuses upon a specific place at a specific time, namely the Japanese wartime occupation of the island of Borneo... To his great merit, Ooi has written one of the best recent detailed studies on the occupation of one part of Southeast Asia, drawing upon a wealth of research and revealing great skill in handling archival sources as well as making sense of this sorry episode in modern history." - Geoffrey Gunn, Nagasaki University; Journal of Contemporary Asia, 43:2, 379-381
