Smokescreens & Mirrors
Tracing the ‘Marxist Conspiracy’
by Tan Wah Piow
ISBN: 978-981-07-2104-6
Smokescreens & Mirrors is Tan Wah Piow’s analysis of the “dark art of political sophistry” used by the PAP government in Operation Spectrum, mounted in 1987. He “examined how Operation Spectrum was conducted, and studied what various ministers said during the period of the two years since the arrests”.
This book includes a compendium, Let the People Judge, first written and published in England in 1987 shortly after the arrests.
