Abstract
Lord Louis Mountbatten defied the tension between military and political leadership, becoming one of the most trusted senior naval officers and statesmen in the fading British Empire. He undoubtedly played a central role in Britain's wartime efforts in South and Southeast Asia, but he is better known today for his somewhat controversial role overseeing Indian partition and independence. Throughout, it was chiefly his political realism, and that of his lieutenants, that enabled Britain to maintain its influence in the region for several decades to come.
