Churchill and Roosevelt, January 1943-July 1945 -- Liberation, July 1945-March 1946 -- Lord Killearn, March 1946-May 1948 -- The Winds of Change, May 1948-January 1950 -- Consequences, January-June 1950.

Offering a bold new interpretation of British foreign policy, Britain and the Origins of the Vietnam War deftly examines Britain's involvement with Vietnam from Churchill's World War II deliberations - about Roosevelt's desire to remove Indo-China from the French Empire - to the zenith and subsequent unravelling of British foreign policy in 1950. Using archival and private papers from Britain and France, Smith argues that Britain did not unilaterally restore Indo-China to France followingWorld War II but pursued an active interest in Vietnamese and Cambodianaffairs for strategic and humanitarian reasons. Smith offers a new defence of the controversial actions of the British liberationforce commander, Major-General Douglas Gracey, and contrasts British and French attitudes towards Asian nationalism and the common problem of communism. This Anglocentric study produces a new insightinto British foreign andimperial policy during the formative years of the Vietnam War.
