From Emergency to Confrontation: The New Zealand Armed Forces in Malaya and Borneo 1949-1966
Author(s): Christopher Pugsley
This is a story of New Zealand's involvement in two forgotten wars as seen through the personal accounts of the New Zealanders, both men and women who were there. It is an unknown story of New Zealand's first significant contact with Asia and one which shaped New Zealand's understanding, as well as having a critical impact on the structure and role of the New Zealand Armed Forces for the second half of the twentieth century.
