About this book

Put in the wider context of British imperial and diplomatic aims in 1941-1945, the book clarifies the importance of Vietnam to Britain's regional objectives in Southeast Asia; concluding that Churchill was willing to sacrifice French colonial interests in Vietnam for his all-important 'special relationship' with the United States.

Reviews

'Smith has succeeded in producing a readable and sophisticated analysis that sheds new light not only on Churchill's conception of the Anglo-American special relationship, but also on the origins of the Vietnam War.' - Simon C. Smith, American Historical Review
