This fascinating study looks at the origins, outbreak and course of the Indonesian-Malaysian confrontation of 1963-1966, within the context of British and American policies in South East Asia during the 1960s as a whole. Matthew Jones uses new archival sources to throw fresh light on such subjects as British Colonial policy and the creation of Malaysia, Anglo-American tensions over the confrontation itself, and the diplomacy of that important, but often neglected, international dispute.

Praise for this book

"Jones's work is an important contribution toward illuminating the international history of Western involvement in Southeast Asia." American Historical Review

"Jones has written a readable, well-researched piece of work, with an intelligent and convincing line of analysis and a good eye for detail." The International History Review

"This is, in sum, a very good, rather traditional diplomatic history of an important but understudied aspect of Southeast Asian diplomacy....It does, however, provide an excellent understanding of British views of American policy." Journal of American History
