The string of military defeats during 1942 marked the end of
British hegemony in Southeast Asia, finally destroying the myth of
British imperial invincibility. The Japanese attack on Burma led to
a hurried and often poorly organized evacuation of Indian and
European civilians from the country. The evacuation was a public
humiliation for the British and marked the end of their role in
Burma."The Evacuation of Civilians from Burma" investigates the
social and political background to the evacuation, and the
consequences of its failure. Utilizing unpublished letters,
diaries, memoirs and official reports, Michael Leigh provides the
first comprehensive account of the evacuation, analyzing its source
in the structures of colonial society, fractured race relations and
in the turbulent politics of colonial Burma.
