Based on previously classified materials, this study traces the political policies and operational practices that enabled the British to defeat the communist insurgency known as the Malayan Emergency between 1948 and 1960. The author shows how the colonial authorities overcame initial failures and went on to isolate the insurgency politically, while simultaneously conducting a lengthy and systematic military campaign. He points to key roles played by the Briggs Plan and General Sir Gerald Templer in bringing the long and difficult military effort to a successful conclusion.
