The Malayan Union Experiment, 1942-48 (Pt. 1) (British Documents on the End of Empire Series B) - Hardcover
Drawing on source material from official British archives held at the Public Records office, this three-part volume documents the course of Anglo-Malayan relations from the fall of Singapore in February 1942 to the achievement of Malayan independence in August 1957. Part one covers the period to February 1948 and begins with a series of documents on wartime planning in Whitehall following the loss of Malaya to Japan. Between 1942 and 1945 a radical shift occurred in British policy and the secret plans for a Malayan Union involved the establishment of direct British rule and a common citizenship scheme for Malays and non-Malays. But a Malayan Union and the treaties concluded with the Malay rulers provoked unprecedented Malay opposition. The British were forced into retreat and the Malayan Union was replaced by the Federation of Malaya.
