"When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,
For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today."

Moving picture. That is beautiful country.
A book by Ronald Spector, In the Ruins of Empire: The Japanese Surrender and the Battle for Postwar Asia
addresses the immediate aftermath of the war in places like the Dutch colony of Indonesia, the French colony of Nam, and how in the former, Indian troops were being used by the British in conjunction, no kidding, in some cases with Japanese commanders to put down an indigenous rebellion against restoring Dutch rule. And lots of attention to events in the realms of tumultous China.
Relatively few books about postwar Asia compared to Europe...and this one is chockful of forgotten history...if that’s your cuppatea.
