Description

This is the first credible account of the May 13, 1969 racial riots/pogrom in Malaysia using documents recently declassified at the Public Records Office, London after the lapse of the 30-year secrecy rule. Since local sources remain classified or have been destroyed, these documents provide the only available confidential observations and memoranda by British and other foreign embassy operatives. They include dispatches by correspondents which were not available to Malaysians at the time.
