Více o knize

Focusing on British policy in Southeast Asia during the early years of World War II, the book explores how Britain balanced its military efforts against Germany while managing diplomatic relations to counter the Japanese threat. It examines Britain's interactions with key nations, including America, Dutch India, the Philippines, French Indo-China, and Thailand. Nicholas Tarling's thorough analysis of British archives and foreign policy documents offers a significant reinterpretation of the origins of the Pacific war.
