The book covers the immediate post-war period until the Colombo plan and th...

Diplomatic relations between Cambodia and Britain at the height of the Cold War provide unique insights into the overall foreign policies of both nations.

In Timors chequered history, many other states have been involved. The prime purpose of this book is to examine the role of the British. Timor was not a part of their empire nor important to their commerce. But it had a long relationship with Portugal, with which, indeed, Timor had its longest relationship. Britain's interest was thus largely indirect. It had two peaks, marked by the Second World War and the decolonisation of Southeast Asia. T...

It analyses attempts to re-establish control after the overthrow of imperial regimes in World War II.

A detailed study that sheds light on post-war British policy in South-east Asia.

This book describes British policy in Southeast Asia between the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939 and the opening of the Pacific war at the end of 1941.
