Description:
Petaling Jaya, Malaysia: Suaram Kommunikasi, 2007. 2013 Reprint. Paperback. New. (Chinese Language edition of this book.) The banning of a book or, as in this case, the threat of banning can never be bad for sales. As a result one of the most important works on Malaysian post-independence history has been republished. The significance of the book is that through use of British documents, declassified under the 30 year rule, the author has been able to overturn the myth that the riots were spontaneous. Instead the author postulates that they were the result of darker political manoeuverings within the governing party. 123 pages. The Chapters include - 1 - The Alliance Racial Formula, 2 - The 1969 General Elections, 3 - Record of The Riots, 4 - Foreign Assessments of The Regime Change, 5 - The New Malay Ruling Class. There are also notes and a seclected bibliography. Weight 0.30 Kg. Postage within Malaysia is free

London: Robert Hale, 1966. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. 19-6-16. The author, a freelance writer, wrote several books that attempted to introduce the reader to the 'real' nature of a range of different countries. In this one he tackles Malaysia in its early years just after independence. His book has been fairly popular since it was first published as he makes a strong case that the country belongs "to all who have staked their claim in her" since most of its inhabitants other than the truly indigenous peoples of the peninsula and Borneo are comparatively recent immigrants. Very Good Hardback in a Very Good Dust Jacket. First Edition 221 pages with an index, some black and white photographs and a map. Weight: 0.7kg. Post free within Malaysia The dust jacket has minor rubbing around the edges. The binding is tight, the text clear and there is mild tanning of the pages.

Ipoh, Malaysia: Perak Academy, 2014. Revised. Paperback. New/new.

This new edition has a foreword by Professor Wang Gang Wu. The two volumes are enclosed in an attractive slip case.

Description:
London: John Murray Publishers, 2004. Paperback. Very Good. Shennan, who grew up in British Malaya, doesn't set out to write a political history of the period, but rather of the British who lived there. Noel Coward's alledged description of Malaya as 'a first-rate country for a second-rate people' was a pretty fair reflection of British attitudes to commercial and colonial endeavours in the country for much of the period when the British were there. Through interviews with those who were still living and research into the writings of those who were not, the author makes a more sympathetic case than Coward for the British who, for better or ill, helped fashion the Malaysia of today. 426 pages divided into the following parts - I: The Building of British Malaya, 1880-1920, II - Golden Years, 1920-1940 & IIi: The Long Retreat, 1940-1960. There are maps, a glossary, notes, a bibliography and an index. Weight: 0.9.kg. * Post free within Malaysia. Tanning to the text block and minor cover wear. The… Read More
