The Pacific War Controversy in Britain: Sir Robert Craigie Versus The Foreign Office

S. Olu Agbi

Journal of Public Policy, 1983, vol. 17, issue 3, 489-517

Abstract: Unlike the State Department Officials of the United States who were subjected by the Senate to postwar Congressional investigation in the Pearl-Harbor hearing, British Far Eastern policy-makers were saved such parliamentary ordeals. The loss of the whole British position in the Far-East at the hands of the Japanese between December 1941 and May 1942 was humiliating enough. It was, as Winston Churchill later claimed, ‘the worst disaster and the largest capitulation of British history’.
