Review of the hardback: 'Meticulously researched, clearly written and cogently argued, this book is a major contribution to the international history of maritime Southeast Asia. Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde, Review of the hardback: '… it is hard to see any treatment of British and American strategies surpassing this excellent study.' Diplomacy and Statecraft, 'Seldom, I believe, can a reviewer by accident have the opportunity to confirm that the quotations and other details are accurate, and that the analysis is sound. Readers will find a fresh and revealing account of the conflict between Malaysia and Singapore as well as the uneasy relations between the leaders of the two countries, the Tunku Abdul Rahman and Lee Kuan Yew. ... As a study in international history, Conflict and Confrontation is worthy of Thorne's own Allies of a Kind.'The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History, 'Meticulously researched, clearly written and cogently argued, this book is a major contribution to the international history of maritime Southeast Asia.Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde, Review of the hardback: '... it is hard to see any treatment of British and American strategies surpassing this excellent study.'

Diplomacy and Statecraft, Review of the hardback: '… this book is a highly commendable and competent piece of original research. It is an important record of the contemporary events which have shaped modern Southeast Asia, throwing light on a period of flux and conflict that the present can relate to given recent events in Indonesia.' International Affairs, Review of the hardback: 'Jones's book is essential reading for those who wish to understand the realities behind the rhetoric that masked the motives and actions of the politicians in Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, London, and Washington as they maneuvered to shape island Southeast Asia into a form that accorded with their individual priorities. Scattered too within his account are flashes of clarifying honesty and insight by the actors themselves into the actual situation that are usually concealed by policy needs and ideological imperatives. … Jones's meticulous analysis of so many of the relevant documents provides a firm bas from which to view the Southeast Asia that emerged from this period of turbulence into a form that basically endured for the rest of the twentieth century.'
