First Edition
First appearance in print of the text of this lecture by Brigadier Sir Mark Henniker, commander of the 63rd Gurkha Brigade in Malaya between 1952 and 1955, on the course of the Emergency and his experiences of field operations. Issues of this journal from the 1960s are now uncommon in commerce. Unsurprisingly, he lays responsibility for events firmly at the feet of Malaya's communists, and makes a number of revealing observations in the process. He states that attempts to overthrow the British administration in 1948 "would probably have succeeded" if they had been "competently organized" (p. 35). Concerning British high commissioner General Sir Gerald Templer, he concludes, "it is not for me to say whether he did a good job or not; but I can say this: within a very short time of his arrival, any quarrels among the [local administrative] committees that reached the top were resolved at once. A white-hot message would come telling us to do what was necessary, and let there be no more minutes, reports or files. In my opinion the success of this enterprise in the end - because it is a success. came, not from new measures, but from the heart and mind and spirit of a single man" (p. 38). Henniker (1906-1991) was commissioned into the Royal Engineers in 1926, serving on the north-west frontier of India in 1929-34 and in Europe and North Africa during the Second World War. In 1955, he published Red Shadow Over Malaya, his account of the previous three years, and retired from active duty in 1958. Large octavo, pp. 32-42 within the journal. Original red card wrappers, spine and front cover lettered in black. Spine cocked, touch of soiling on rear cover, light creasing to wrappers and contents, text clean and bright. A very good copy indeed.

First Edition Signed
First edition, first impression, presentation copy, with a folded autograph letter tipped-in on the front free endpaper from the author to Field-Marshal Sir John Harding thanking him for "all the help you gave, both in writing the foreword and getting the manuscript through the War Office so speedily". The letter is joined by Harding's ownership signature dated Cyprus, 1956. Brigadier Sir Mark Henniker (1906-1991) was commander of the 63rd Gurkha Brigade in Malaya between 1952 and 1955, with the present work chronicling this three-year period. He was commissioned into the Royal Engineers in 1926, serving on the north-west frontier of India in 1929-34 and in Europe and North Africa during the Second World War. He retired from active duty in 1958. Harding (1896-1989) was appointed commander-in-chief, Far East in the early phase of the Malayan Emergency. "The foundations of the system by which this formidable Chinese communist insurrection was eventually suppressed were laid by Harding. Malcolm MacDonald, the special commissioner for the Far East, paid a firm tribute to the sagacity and tenacity of purpose with which Harding dominated the defence co-ordinating committee" (ODNB). Promoted field marshal in November 1953, he was appointed governor of Cyprus, serving a two-year term which coincided with the first half of the Cyprus Emergency. In his foreword, Harding lauds British forces for their "unique contribution to the steady improvement in security and stability in Malaya" (p. xiv). Octavo. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. With 8 photographic half-tones, maps and charts in text. Cloth sunned according to losses in jacket, edges lightly foxed, internally clean; jacket with some significant losses, unclipped: a near-fine copy in acceptable jacket.
