520 |a "This detailed and original study throws new light on the evolution of British policy in Southeast Asia in the turbulent post-war period. Professor Tarling's extensive archival research shows how previously separate Foreign Office, Colonial Office and India Office policies came together in the face of pressures from both widespread decolonisation and emerging Cold War tensions. His insightful analysis of the official British mind-set and the detail of British policy demonstrates that Southeast Asia was perceived as a region consisting of mutually cooperating new states, rather than a fragmented mass."--Jacket.
