The Malayan Emergency of 1948-1960 has been scrutinised for
'lessons' about how to win counterinsurgencies from the Vietnam War
to twenty-first century Afghanistan. This book brings our
understanding of the conflict up to date by interweaving government
and insurgent accounts and looking at how they played out at local
level. Drawing on oral history, recent memoirs and declassified
archival material from the UK and Asia, Karl Hack offers a
comprehensive, multi-perspective account of the Malayan Emergency
and its impact on Malaysia. He sheds new light on questions about
terror and violence against civilians, how insurgency and
decolonisation interacted and how revolution was defeated. He
considers how government policies such as pressurising villagers,
resettlement and winning 'hearts and minds' can be judged from the
perspective of insurgents and civilians. This timely book is the
first truly multi-perspective and in-depth study of anti-colonial
resistance and counterinsurgency in the Malayan Emergency.
