The Rise and Fall of Communism in Sarawak 1940-1990 (Hardcover)

As Sarawak evolved from a British colonial outpost to statehood in the Federation of Malaysia, social and political stability was threatened by communist insurgency. This book explains how communism was nurtured among the youth of Sarawak's ethnic Chinese community from the early 1940s, how it grew into a powerful guerrilla movement that survived for decades, and how the movement was finally overcome through an amnesty in 1990.
