Confronting Sukarno : British, American, Australia and New Zealand diplomacy in the Malaysian - Indonesian Confrontation, 1961-5 / John Subritzky. - Basingstoke : Macmillan : New York : St. Martin's Press, 1999. - xix, 246 pages : maps ; 22 cm

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The purpose of this book is two-fold: firstly, to provide a contemporary account of Confrontation by making extensive use of recently de-classified government documents from a number of countries; secondly, to highlight the regional and international implications of the crisis from the perspective of four western powers: Britain, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. The approach is therefore multilateral rather than bilateral, in the sense that examining the involvement of only one countryin the crisis is deliberately avoided.
