THE BRITISH OCCUPATION OF
INDONESIA 1945–1946
This is the first work to systematically examine the British occupation of Indonesia
after the Second World War. The occupation by British-Indian forces between
1945 and 1946 bridged the gap between the surrender of Japan and the resumption
of Dutch rule, and this book is a reappraisal of the conduct on the ground of that
British occupation. Contrary to previous studies, this book demonstrates that the
occupation was neither exclusively pro-Dutch nor pro-Indonesian; nor was it the
orderly affair portrayed in the British official histories.
Richard McMillan draws upon a wide range of sources previously unavailable
to scholars – such as recently declassified government papers and papers in private
archives; he has also carried out revealing interviews with key players. Presenting
a wealth of new information, this highly original – and well-written – book will
appeal to scholars of European Imperialism, the Second World War, military history
and the history of South and Southeast Asia. It will also be relevant to a wide
range of undergraduate courses in History.

The Royal Asiatic Society was founded in 1823 ‘for the investigation of subjects connected
with, and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to, Asia’.
Informed by these goals, the policy of the Society’s Editorial Board is to to make available
in appropriate formats the results of original research in the humanities and social sciences
having to do with Asia, defined in the broadest geographical and cultural sense and up to
the present day.
