Yet as David Easter shows, it was a major commitment involving over 54,000 British servicemen and near-escalation into full-scale war with Indonesia. President Sukarno's Confrontation of Indonesia was an attempt to destroy Britain's plans for Malaysia by guerilla warfare, including air and sea landings, and Britain responded with a secret war by supporting rebel groups, propaganda, and clandestine cross-border raids. Sukarno was finally overthrown by a pro-Western military government which renounced the Confrontation and accepted Malaysia. Britain's policy, however seemingly successful, was vital in her post-imperial retreat from empire and in abandoning her global defense role.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/84/885/969/1848859694_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "51.95", "online_price" : "51.95", "our_price" : "51.95", "club_price" : "51.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
