Information About

"THIS is a study of the evolution of British constitutional policy towards Malaya and Singapore between 1942 and 1948. Driven by the new forces unleashed by World War II, British planners in the Colonial Office embarked on an ambitious experiment to impose, for the first time, a constitutional union on the Malay Peninsula, excluding Singapore, and to confer a common citizenship on her peoples."--Preface.
