The Last Great Strike: The Untold Story of the Strike That Closed The Straits Times

Clement Mesenas

In this book, veteran journalist Clement Mesenas looks back on eight eventful days in 1971 when a group of young reporters staged a historic strike that shut down The Straits Times, a company that had the proud tradition of never being off the streets in its 120 years of existence, not even during the Japanese occupation of Singapore.
