TOMLINSON, Michael. The Most Dangerous Moment. 205p., bibliog., illus., index. London: Kimber, 1976. ISBN: 0718304349.

Churchill thought the most dangerous moment of the war to be when a Japanese fleet moved into the Indian Ocean and against Ceylon in April 1942. This account examines the period in general and the attacks on Ceylon in particular. Naval events are unsympathetically treated as a backdrop to a detailed examination of the air warfare.
