Author Description

This book, first published in 1909, is the offical history of Sarawak (which now forms a part of Malaysia) during the rule of Rajah James and Rajah Charles. Although, as Nicholas Tarling emphasizes in his introduction, professional historians have reinterpreted Sarawak's history morecompletely in recent years, this classic work not only captures the spirit of the times, it allows the facts to speak for themselves.
