520    Between 8 and 12 December of 1962, world attention focused
       on a surprise rebel uprising that sprang up in northern 
       Borneo, where hostages were taken and threatened with 
       execution. The small river town of Limbang, administrative
       center of the Fifth Division of the British Crown colony 
       of Sarawak, was the pivot of the confrontation that Harold
       Macmillan told John F. Kennedy was as dangerous a 
       situation in South East Asia as the Western Allies had 
       seen since the Second World War. The Brunei revolt turned 
       out to be the opening act of the diplomatic and military 
       conflict between Indonesia and Malaysia known as 
       Confrontation ('Konfrontasi').Britain and the Malayan 
       Prime Minister aimed to create a federation of Malaysia by
       combining the two British colonies in Borneo and the 
       island colony of Singapore with already independent 
       Malaya. Opposition to this came from Brunei Malay 
       politician Sheikh A. M. Azahari. The self-styled Prime 
       Minister of a 'united' northern Borneo mounted an anti-
       Malaysia insurrection. This uprising became known as the 
       Brunei revolt. An amphibious dawn assault at Limbang on 12
       December by L Company of 42 Commando British Royal Marines
       liberated the hostages whom Azahari's rebel forces were 
       preparing to hang.The story of Limbang and what it 
       represents has not been fully told until now. While 
       terrifying, Limbang was also a life-affirming experience 
       for those involved and forged lifelong bonds. It ends not 
       with the heroic release of the hostages in a commando raid,
       where British forces faced heavy resistance, but with the 
       impact these events had on the lives of all concerned.
