London: Derek Verschoyle, 1954. First edition. Hardcover. Good/N/A. Bartlett was given all facilities by General Templer, the British High Commissioner for the Federation of Malaya at the time, to write this book. Templer was one of the pioneers of winning hearts and minds of potential supporters of guerillas, so he was probably keen on winning the hearts and minds of the British public as well. In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War guerilla warfare was probably novel when the recent war had been won by conventional battles and bombs. So the book sets out to be a survey of the Federation at the time, an explanation of how the war was fought and why the author and his backers considered it necessary to fight it to the end. Good Hardback First Edition 128 pages with 15 black and white photographs. Weight: 0.5 kg Post free within Malaysia The front of the original dust jacket has been stuck onto the front of the book. The cover corners are also protected by brass coverings. The binding is tight, the text clear and there is medium tanning of the pages.
