A sequel to the author's previous two books Britain, Southeast Asia and the Onset of the Pacific War (1996) and Britain, Southeast Asia and the Onset of the Cold War (1998), this book discusses Britain's policy towards Southeast Asia in the period 1950Ð55 when it was crucially affected by the struggle in Korea. The phases in that struggleÑbriefly described and placed in world contextÑprovide a context for discussing Britain's relations with Burma, Thailand, Indonesia and Indo-China.
Covering the dispute over West New Guinea and the Chinese Nationalist incursion into Burma, the book gives a full account of the Geneva conference, 50 years ago, which reached a settlement regarding Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia, and of the creation of the SEATO alliance. The focus of the work is on British policy, and it is largely based on a study of British official records.
