The first comprehensive account of British policy towards China,
Japan and Korea from the final stages of the Second World War to
the outbreak of the Korean War, placed in the broader context of
Far Eastern developments, the beginnings of the Cold War, dealings
with the Commonwealth and, above all, relations with the United
States. Based upon research in British, American and Australian
archives, this book examines the tensions that emerged within the
Anglo-American relationship as the United States sought to dominate
the East Asian agenda and Britain agonised over the international
role it should play in the region. That tension intensified over
what the British perceived as an American failure to devise a
post-war plan for East Asia other than the containment of Japan. As
Communist threats inside China and Korea gained momentum, Britain,
with valuable Far Eastern interests to protect, could not afford
the Asian mainland to turn 'red' and found itself drawn
increasingly into East Asian affairs far more than it desired.
