Britain's Secret War: The Indonesian Confrontation 1962 - 66
Will Fowler, Kevin Lyles
The 'Confrontation' between Malaysia and
Indonesia in Borneo, the war against Indonesian raids
across a 900-mile border in some of the world's worst jungle terrain,
eventually involved nearly 20,000 British and Commonwealth troops, with
air and naval support; and yet, by mutual consent, it was astonishingly
little reported at the time. This 'secret war' saw the perfection of SAS
jungle tactics; a Parachute Regiment action described as 'a second
Rorke's Drift'; and audacious secret missions deep inside enemy
territory, including the award to a Gurkha soldier of the British Army's
only 'living VC' for 40 years.
