Thank you in advance!

* Title: Smokescreens & Mirrors: Tracing The ‘Marxist Conspiracy’
* Author(s) name: Tan Wah Piow
* ISBN: 9789810721046
* Publisher: Function 8 Limited
* Publication date: 2012, Singapore, 1st Edition
* Format: Paperback
* Description:

Tan Wah Piow wrote Let The People Judge in 1987. It debunks the allegation that he is a communist, and the repeated charge by the Singapore government that he is the mastermind behind a ‘Marxist Conspiracy’ to “subvert Singapore’s political and social order using communist united front tactics”.

This new book reproduces the earlier publication and adds an important, and cogent, analysis of the government’s action, which took place behind smokescreens and mirrors as on a magician’s stage.

Dr G Raman, who was involved in the court case in which Wah Piow was embroiled back in 1974, categorically states in the foreword: “The trial resulted in a distortion of justice.” Students of Singapore’s political and social history would be intrigued by this eye-opening read.

Wow that was fast! Thank you Rene :)

My pleasure.

Hi Rene,

The publisher contacted me to tell me that the book cover posted is an old design that was not used, and sent me an image of the new cover. Is it possible to upload the new cover instead?

Thanks,
Angela

Thew new cover comes as a new edition so it should probably be uploaded as a different edition..

Oh, it's not a different edition. The image currently up was never used. They had put it up on their webpage but used a new cover image when they sent the book to print.

oh.., well then I think you can probably use the new cover then. Just state when it was/will be reprinted, I guess.. :)

Can you link to the new actual picture?

Here's a link to the actual cover: http://www.ethosbooks.com.sg/store/ca...

Thanks to whoever changed the cover photo!

I went ahead and added the other book by this author:
