archival sources of the SRD and the war crimes trials. There are also 66 plates in the appendix of striking pictures of several of the personalities in the story. Nevertheless, there are two important questions that Wong had not sufficiently addressed in this book. These are, firstly, the possible links that the Jesselton Uprising might have had with the Allied Forces and secondly, the uprising’s connections to China. For the former, Wong contends that there were no links between the leaders of the uprising and the Allied forces. However, the narrative suggests that there were connections with the Allied military mission then operating in Sabah, either before or after the uprising (chap. 7). On the second question, Wong refers to the years that Kwok spent in China before returning to Sabah, and that the experience had influenced him to set up the guerrilla movement. Yet, Wong provides no further discussion on the possible China connections. Nevertheless, this is the most comprehensive and detailed account of the Kinabalu Guerrillas and the Jesselton Uprising to date. The book is a welcome addition to the field of scholarship on Southeast Asian history, Malaysian history, Southeast Asian Chinese, Borneo Studies, and the Japanese Occupation.
