By Abdullah Ahmad

Tunku Abdul Rahman was first the prime minister of Malaya and then of Malaysia (1957-70). In this never-before-published volume, the author--a former journalist, newspaper director and political advisor, as well as political prisoner from 1976-81--shares many hours of his conversations with the Tunku held over two years in the early 1980s. Read about the Tunku's hopes and fears about the future of Malaysia, and his thoughts on the elected king, the sultans and the Malays, the Indonesian Confrontation, the issue of Brunei, the separation of Singapore from Malaysia, communism and the neutralization of Southeast Asia.
