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 volume discusses Britain's policy towards Southeast Asia in the period 1950-55; when it was crucially affected by the struggle in Korea. The phases in that struggle - briefly described and placed in a world context - provide the premise for discussing Britain's relations with Burma; Thailand; Indonesia and Indochina.Covering the dispute over West New Guinea and the Chinese Nationalist incursion into Burma; Nicholas Tarling gives a full account of the Geneva conference more than 50 years ago; which reached a settlement regarding Vietnam; Laos and Cambodia; and of the creation of the SEATO alliance. The focus of this work is on British policy; and it is largely based on a study of British official records.
