interesting personal history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book provides an interesting description of parts of life in 1950s Malaysia. It only tangentially touches on the emergency and independence movement. It is based on letters written during that period, and though the text can be slightly dry at times it avoids getting bogged down on some of the social register type details that can ruin similar works. The author's views are presented as they were at the time without any moralizing from a more modern viewpoint. This may offend some people but I'd call it a fairly accurate snapshot of the time and place.
