Synopsis: Only three years after the end of the Japanese occupation, war came again to Malaya. The Chinese-backed guerrillas called it the War of the Running Dogs-their contemptous term for those in Malays awho remained loyal to the British. The British Government referred to this bloody and costly struggle as the 'Malayan Emergency'. Yet is was a war hat lasted twelve years and cost thousands of lives. By the time it was over Malaya had obtained its independence-but on British, not on Chinese or Communist terms. Here is the war as it was: the planters and their wives on their remote rubber estate, the policemen, the generals and the soldiers, the Malays, Chinese and Indians of a polygot country all fighting a ruthless and well-organised enemy.
