Yet within three and a half years the Wilson Government had announced that Britain would be withdrawing from its major Southeast Asian bases and abandoning any special military role 'East of Suez'. Drawing upon previously classified government records P.L. Pham examines and explains how the Wilson Government came to this conclusion, one of themost significant decisions in the decline of British global power after the Second World War.Substantially revising 410 0$aOxford historical monographs. 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zMalaysia 607 $aMalaysia$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xMilitary policy 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1964-1979 607 $aSoutheast Asia$xDefenses 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zSingapore 607 $aSingapore$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$y1964-1979 607 $aIndonesia$xHistory$y1950-1966 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a959.505/1 700 $aPham$b P.
