Opis

Although by about 1950 both British Borneo and Indonesian Borneo seemed settled under their different regimes, the upheavals which affected Southeast and East Asia during the Cold War period also deeply affected Borneo. This book outlines these events and assesses their impact on Borneo and its people.
