A history of the Brunei Rebellion, which was the trigger for the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation of the 1960s. This book explores the turmoil throughout Southeast Asia that was the backdrop to the rebellion and analyses how Brunei not only survived but actually emerged from this turbulent period as a stronger and more coherent political state.
Harun Abdul Majid carried out his research into the Brunei Rebellion at the Department of War Studies at King's College, London.
