Completeing a Stewardship describes the process of British
disengagement from Malaya and Singapore during the era of Asian
nationalism. Heussler adds to previous studies of decolonization
and disengagement a new and important perspective: the views and
daily work of the members of the Malayan Civil Service who were at
the center of affairs until the end of British rule. The book
concentrates on the people and events that influenced
administrative preparations for independence. The importance of
Completing A Stewardship lies in its attention to the British
management of preparations for self-government. By combining
official records with diaries, letters, personal papers, and
interviews with many important participants, Heussler offers a full
and balanced view of the end of the British Empire in Southeast
Asia.
