In doing so, Dr Comber has relied mainly on primary and other first-hand sources, including the confidential reports sent from Malaya by the Australian Commission to the Australian government in Canberra, and the private papers of some of the leading Malayan politicians of the time with whom Templer had dealings which have been deposited in the ISEAS Library, Singapore, many of which have not been used before.
The evidence and facts that Dr Comber marshals in this study reflect well the reservations that were often felt about General Templer's authoritarian form of government. While he was a good general and had an impressive military record, his administration in Malaya was marred by a lack of understanding of the background to Malaya's history and the subtleties that are inherent in its culture and way of life which would have enabled him to come to terms more easily with the aspirations of the Malayan people for self-government and independence. 606 $aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political$2bisacsh 607 $aMalaya$xHistory$yMalayan Emergency, 1948-1960 607 $aMalaya$xPolitics and government 615 7$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political. 676 $a959.5104 700 $aComber$b Leon$0665346 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795916703321 996 $aTempler and the road to Malayan independence$93793444 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02470nam 2200625Ia 450 001 9910784773303321 005 20230421044744.0 010 $a0-19-028367-X 010 $a1-280-52974-1 010 $a0-19-535333-1 010 $a1-4294-0458-2 035 $a(CKB)1000000000400493 035 $a(EBL)272919 035 $a(OCoLC)466428563 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000153125 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11160849 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000153125 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10393045 035 $a(PQKB)11752618 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC272919 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL272919 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10278980 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL52974 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000400493 100 $a19970321d1998 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe fall of Che Guevara$b[electronic resource] $ea story of soldiers, spies, and diplomats /$fHenry Butterfield Ryan 210 $aNew York $cOxford University Press$d1998 215 $a1 online resource (255 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-19-513100-2 311 $a0-19-511879-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 201-216) and index. 327 $aContents; Abbreviations; Introduction; 1 The Road to Revolution; 2 Contact and Alarm; 3 The Obstacles Accumulate; 4 The Green Berets; 5 Guerrilla Triumph and Trouble; 6 The Kill-and After; 7 Memories and Legacies; Appendix: Chronology; Notes; Bibliography; Index 330 $aThis work tells the story of Guevara's last campaign, in the backwoods of Bolivia, where he hoped to ignite a revolution that would spread throughout South America.
