On April 24, 2013 Dr. Karl Hack delivered a talk entitled “Forest shadows: writing New Histories of the Malayan Emergency”. He shared his experience writing about the Malayan Emergency using a wealth of sources such as oral history, governmental archives, communist and private sources, even fiction and poetry. He also discussed the significance of court cases dealing with British atrocities and massacres in Malaya. These sources are effective in capturing the full emotional, physical and political realities of the Emergency.
