Although by about 1950 both British Borneo, including the protected
sultanate of Brunei, and Indonesian Borneo seemed settled under
their different regimes and well on the way to post-war
reconstruction and economic development, the upheavals which
affected Southeast and East Asia during the Cold War period also
deeply affected Borneo. Besides the impact of the Korean and
Vietnam Wars and the Malayan Emergency and communist uprisings in
other Southeast Asian states, there was within Borneo the attempted
communist takeover of Sarawak from the 1950s, a failed coup d'etat
in Brunei in 1962, Sukarno's Konfrontasi (confrontation) with
Malaysia, and the horrific purge of Leftists and ethnic Chinese in
the late 1960s. This book details these momentous events and
assesses their impact on Borneo and its people. It is a sequel to
the author's earlier books The Japanese Occupation of Borneo,
1941-1945 (2011) and Post-War Borneo, 1945-1950: Nationalism,
Empire, and State-Building (2013), collectively a trilogy.
