Abstract

The Malayan Emergency of 1948–1960 has been scrutinised for 'lessons' about how to win counterinsurgencies from the Vietnam War to twenty-first century Afghanistan. This book brings our understanding of the conflict up to date by interweaving government and insurgent accounts and looking at how they played out at local level. Drawing on oral history, recent memoirs and declassified archival material from the UK and Asia, Karl Hack offers a comprehensive, multi-perspective account of the Malayan Emergency and its impact on Malaysia. He sheds new light on questions about terror and violence against civilians, how insurgency and decolonisation interacted and how revolution was defeated. He considers how government policies such as pressurising villagers, resettlement and winning 'hearts and minds' can be judged from the perspective of insurgents and civilians. This timely book is the first truly multi-perspective and in-depth study of anti-colonial resistance and counterinsurgency in the Malayan Emergency.

马来亚紧急状态

从越南战争到21世纪的阿富汗，1948年至1960年的马来亚紧急事件一直被仔细审查，以寻找如何赢得反叛乱的“教训”。这本书通过将政府和叛乱分子的描述交织在一起，并观察他们在地方一级的表现，使我们对冲突的理解与时俱进。Karl Hack利用英国和亚洲的口述历史、最近的回忆录和解密档案材料，对马来亚紧急情况及其对马来西亚的影响进行了全面、多视角的描述。他对针对平民的恐怖和暴力、叛乱和非殖民化如何相互作用以及革命如何被击败等问题提供了新的见解。他考虑如何从叛乱分子和平民的角度来判断政府的政策，如向村民施压、重新安置和赢得“民心”。这本适时的书是第一本真正多视角、深入研究马来亚紧急状态下的反殖民抵抗和反叛乱的书。
