Andrea Benvenuti is a senior lecturer in international relations and European studies at the School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of New South Wales, Australia.
"Brings out well the shifts in Australian attitudes toward
Britain's approach to the decolonisation of the empire. It offers
an insightful Australian view of domestic political developments in
Malaya and Singapore. Its employment of Australian, British, and US
sources to tell a complex story deserves praise. The work is also
clearly structured and elegantly crafted."-- "Journal of Southeast
Asian Studies"
"Benvenuti paints a careful and convincing portrait of an Australia
that engaged difficult and finely balanced problems of Cold War and
decolonization in Southeast Asia with sober maturity, and adjusted
effectively to volatile and changing conditions. . . . An important
recasting of a pivotal chapter in Cold War, Southeast Asian, and
Australian history."--Brian P. Farrell, National University of
Singapore
