This detailed study throws light on the evolution of British policy
in South-east Asia in the turbulent post-war period. Through
extensive archival research and insightful analysis of the British
mindset and official policy, Tarling demonstrates that South-east
Asia was perceived as a region consisting of mutually co-operating
new states, rather than a fragmented mass. The book covers the
immediate post-war period until the Colombo plan and the outbreak
of hostilities in Korea. A companion volume to Tarling's Britain,
Southeast Asia and the Onset of the Pacific War, it finds parallels
between Britain's approach to the threat of Japan and its approach
to the threat of communism. It also shows that the British sought
to shape US involvement, in part by involving other Commonwealth
countries, especially India. This is a major contribution to the
diplomatic and political history of South-east Asia.
