Synopsis

In 1841, James Brooke became Rajah of Sarawak, establishing a European dynasty that ruled the Bornean state until 1946. The only full-length biography of Brooke ever published, this classic 1879 work was written by Brooke's Private Secretary, whose friendship with Brooke and knowledge of the country offer today's reader a clear feeling for the history of those times. For this reissue R.H.W. Reece provides an introduction reappraising the Rajah's character and career.
