The Long Long War: Emergency in Malaya, 1948-1960

The Malayan 'Emergency' was the first of campaigns in the dying days of colonialism where the British had to quickly learn new tactics to combat guerilla war. The author, who served in Malaya, wrote this book when the USA was beginning to become involved in its own 'Emergency' in Vietnam and, so, draws parallels. The 206 page book is divided into three sections I - Defensive (1945-1951), II - Offensive (1952-1955) & Victory (1955-1960) and Then What? with appendices, maps, diagrams, appendices a bibliography and an index.
