It describes the zeitgeist of the time amongst overseas Chinese in Malaya and Singapore — in the prelude to and the aftermath of World War II and the subsequent struggle of independence in a world where they had hitherto been second-class residents. Due to the inherent secrecy of the clandestine Malayan Communist Party, many of the events described in the book were not previously known; events that the protagonist in his old age now wishes to record for posterity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author content goes here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44763694301481,"sku":"9789811272943","price":28.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/0041\/products\/13315.cover.jpg?v=1680672973","url":"https:\/\/epigrambookshop.xyz\/products\/from-insurgent-to-citizen","provider":"Epigram","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
