Book Synopsis The British Army, the Gurkhas and Cold War Strategy in the Far East, 1947–1954 by : Raffi Gregorian
Download or read book The British Army, the Gurkhas and Cold War Strategy in the Far East, 1947–1954 written by Raffi Gregorian and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-05-10 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that postwar Britain's 'imperial over-extension' has been exaggerated. Britain developed and adjusted its defence strategy based upon the perceived Communist threat and available resources. It was especially successful at adapting to meet the strategic and resource challenges from the Far East from 1947-54. There British and Gurkha forces were deployed only in contingencies that threatened vital British interests, while the U.S. and Commonwealth allies were persuaded to accept key wartime missions, thus preserving Britain's ability to fight in Western Europe.

Download or read book Betrayed Ally written by Frances Wood and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great War helped China emerge from humiliation and obscurity and take its first tentative steps as a full member of the global community.In 1912 the Qing Dynasty had ended. President Yuan Shikai, who seized power in 1914, offered the British 50,000 troops to recover the German colony in Shandong but this was refused. In 1916 China sent a vast army of labourers to Europe. In 1917 she declared war on Germany despite this effectively making the real enemy Japan an ally.The betrayal came when Japan was awarded the former German colony. This inspired the rise of Chinese nationalism and communism, enflamed by Russia. The scene was set for Japans incursions into China and thirty years of bloodshed.One hundred years on, the time is right for this accessible and authoritative account of Chinas role in The Great War and assessment of its national and international significance
Book Synopsis Recasting the Imperial Far East by : Lanxin Xiang
Download or read book Recasting the Imperial Far East written by Lanxin Xiang and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 1995 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the rivalry between the US and Britain over China between World War II and the Korean War, a link that has been neglected by scholars distracted by the dominant theme of the Cold War. Finds that the two governments did not collaborate in any significant manner, that the succession from one imperial power to another was not particularly friendly, that the British considered the US fetish for antagonizing Mao Tse Tung misguided and dangerous, that the US missed its chance to consolidate power in the region and began the slide to Viet Nam in 1950, and that Britain had no choice by then but to tie their wagon to the wayward US in order to salvage the remnants of British imperial spoil.

Book Synopsis The British Army 1939–45 (3) by : Martin Brayley
Download or read book The British Army 1939–45 (3) written by Martin Brayley and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 2002-09-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lightning Japanese offensives in the Far East in 1941/42 inflicted a series of costly defeats on the ill-prepared and badly supported British Commonwealth forces in Malaya and Burma. The 'forgotten' 14th Army on the India-Burma border slowly built up its strength and its tactical expertise; and Wingate's 'Chindits' proved that units supplied from the air could operate deep behind enemy lines. In 1944 General Slim's troops decisively smashed Japan's last offensive at Imphal and Kohima; and over the next year they drove the enemy relentlessly back through Burma, reducing them to starving fugitives by the final victory in August 1945. This concise summary of Britain's Far East campaigns of World War II is illustrated with many rare photographs, and eight detailed colour plates.
