Cover Image: Propaganda leaflet dropped in rural regions of Malaya in which Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) guerilla forces were active in 1953. Translation: ”If any member of the CPM leaves the jungle and brings out a Bren gun, or is willing to show the security forces where to find a hidden Bren gun, he will received a $1,000 reward. Receive a $1,000 reward and start a new life!”
