Beskrivning

This text examines the regional and international implications of the Malaysian / Indonesian Confrontation, a crisis more popularly known as Konfrontasi. By doing so, fundamental themes concerning the Asian Cold War are discussed. In particular, the concern of western policy makers with an increasingly belligerent communist China, the importance of Konfrontasi to the war in Vietnam and the British "roe" east of Suez, are all examined in detail. Being a work of international history, the book draws extensively from recently de classified documents in the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
