Beginning with Britain's 1948 declaration of a Malayan Emergency, and ending with the 1973 withdrawal of US ground troops from Vietnam, this Handbook connects ideas about contested decolonization and the insurgencies that inspired it with an analysis of patterns and singularities in the conflicts that precipitated the collapse of overseas empires.
