Combining breathtaking, evocative narrative with
razor-sharp historical analysis, Bayly and Harper provide a
dramatic account of independent Asia's baptism of fire in
the turbulent aftermath of the Second World War. They
capture in vivid detail the euphoria and trauma that swept
the crescent stretching from Calcutta to Singapore as
Britain's Asian empire unraveled. This brilliant book is
indispensable reading for anyone interested in the history
of Britain, Asia and empire.
--Sugata Bose, author of A Hundred Horizons: the Indian
Ocean in the Age of Global Empire (20070701)
Like their earlier collaborative volume, Forgotten
Armies, Bayly and Harper's new book presents a
fascinating story of Britain's Asian empire in transition.
Europeans, Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Burmese,
Malays, Indonesians, and many others interacted as they
sought to define anew the nature of empire, territory, and
citizenship. There is no better way to understand the
region's survival and emergence as a center of economic
development and prosperity than to revisit the immediate
postwar years under the expert guidance provided by Bayly
and Harper.
--Akira Iriye, Professor of History Emeritus, Harvard
University (20070813)
Forgotten Wars is an insightful and original look
at the fate of Britain's Asian Empire in the wake of World
War II. Engaging and provocative, the masterful discussion
of the Malayan Emergency will be of interest to all
concerned with the dilemmas presented by insurgencies in
our contemporary world.
--Ronald Spector, author of In the Ruins of Empire: The
Japanese Surrender and the Struggle for a Postwar Asia

Historians Christopher Bayly and Tim Harper chronicle the
ensuing struggles for Britain's Southeast Asian colonies in
Forgotten Wars: Freedom and Revolution in Southeast
Asia, the sequel to their much-praised history of
Britain's Asian empire during World War II, Forgotten
Armies: The Fall of British Asia, 19411945. Primarily
a diplomatic and political history rather than a military
history, the new book focuses on the causes of armed
conflict. After Japan's capitulation, Messrs. Bayly and
Harper contend, Southeast Asia remained in a state of war
for the same reasons it had entered into such a state:
poverty, imperialism, and ethnic, religious, and
ideological conflict. The authors have mined a very large
number of sources. Most of their new historical unearthing
can be found in the intricacies of Southeast Asian
politics, which they describe in great detail and with
careful nuance. Those deeply interested in the politics of
Burma or Malaysia or other Southeast Asian countries will
find much to delight them here.

Two years after their brilliant and vivid Forgotten Armies: The Fall of British Asia, 1941-45, the Cambridge historians Bayly and Harper produce a sequel that examines Britain's conflicts in Southeast Asia in the four years after the Second World War. While adroitly analyzing Britain's hard-fought battle against insurrectionary forces in Malaya, the authors explore lesser-known episodes: Bengalese and Burmese skirmishes seldom highlighted in accounts of the Raj's end, and the British interregnums between the ends of the Japanese occupations of Indonesia and Vietnam and the restorations of the respective former colonial administrations.

Authoritative.
--Pankaj Mishra (_New Yorker_ )
[A] compelling book...An extraordinary cast of characters
populate Forgotten Wars...The authors write that
"the end of empire is not a pretty thing if examined too
closely," but when examined so ably it is certainly
fascinating.
--Philip Delves Broughton (_Wall Street Journal_ )
The authors are particularly good in their analysis of the problems of state building, on the one hand, and nation building, on the other. (_Foreign Affairs_ )
Forgotten Wars movingly brings out the travails of
ordinary people who got caught up within a vicious cycle of
political turmoil, economic deprivation, and violence. This
is a must read for those interested in histories of British
imperialism and decolonization in Asia and those who would
like an introduction to the comparative regional histories
of nation-states in Southeast Asia after 1945.
--Haimanti Roy (_Journal of British Studies_ )
This book is neither an old-fashioned top down history of
imperial politics in the region, nor a regional bottom up
account of nationalist resistance to European rule. Rather,
it shows how British illusions about the nature of Britains
power in Southeast Asia collided with Asian national
movements. This book addresses an important phase of that
tragic history, for which, as the authors show, Britain
bore considerable responsibility.
--A. Martin Wainwright (_American Historical Review_ )
In September 1945, after the fall of the atomic bomb--and with it, the Japanese empire--Asia was dominated by the British. Governing a vast crescent of land that stretched from India through Burma and down to Singapore, and with troops occupying the French and Dutch colonies in southern Vietnam and Indonesia, Britain's imperial might had never seemed stronger.
Yet within a few violent years, British power in the region would crumble, and myriad independent nations would struggle into existence. Christopher Bayly and Tim Harper show how World War II never really ended in these ravaged Asian lands but instead continued in bloody civil wars, anti-colonial insurrections, and inter-communal massacres. These years became the most formative in modern Asian history, as Western imperialism vied with nascent nationalist and communist revolutionaries for political control.
Forgotten Wars, a sequel to the authors' acclaimed Forgotten Armies, is a panoramic account of the bitter wars of the end of empire, seen not only through the eyes of the fighters, but also through the personal stories of ordinary people: the poor and bewildered caught up in India's Hindu-Muslim massacres; the peasant farmers ravaged by warfare between British forces and revolutionaries in Malaya; the Burmese minorities devastated by separatist revolt. Throughout, we are given a stunning portrait of societies poised between the hope of independence and the fear of strife. Forgotten Wars vividly brings to life the inescapable conflicts and manifold dramas that shaped today's Asia.
