A Peace Corps Volunteer in Afghanistan
John Sumser
Summary
Since 9/II, the American appetite for information on Afghanistan has surged. The bulk of this information has
come from the media, Afghan Scholars or from the Afghans themselves. For the first time, the story of
Afghanistan prior to, and during, the communist coup of 1979 is told from the perspective of an American
working as a Peace Corps volunteer in Afghanistan. The story begins with Peace Corps recruitment and training
in the United States, then follows a group of young men and women to Afghanistan where they must learn to
adapt to exotic food, mysterious customs and primitive hygiene. Then, as they begin to assimilate and feel
confortable in their harsh suroundings, a military coup leads to the arrest of the author, who is accused of being
an American spy and beaten in an effort to make him reveal secrets he doesn't have. Eventually, the author is
extricated from prison as a new communist regime solidifies its hold on Afghanistan after centuries of Islamic
Chicago Review Press dominance. Thus the chain of events leading to 9/II is set in motion. Only a handful of foreigners lived in

Afghanistan
Land of Conflict and Beauty
John C. Griffiths
Summary
Fully updated, this is an insightful and fascinating account of the history, culture, social fabric, internal politics,
and economy of a country at the forefront of international relations
Set against Afghanistan's deep-rooted religious, ethnic, and social divisions, this comprehensive history examines
a nation that for centuries has been in constant conflict. Beginning with early Persian, Greek, and Mongol
invasions and continuing through the Russian incursion, it maps the history and development of Afghanistan
through its wars and their effects. The recent, bitter civil war is also addressed as is the role of the Taliban-who
controlled most of the country under a fanatical and reclusive leader-including their stance on minority groups,
the importance of Islam, the place of women in society, and their support for Osama bin Laden. Fully updated
with the most recent geopolitical and military events involving the country, this is a compelling history of a
Andre Deutsch nation caught between the headlines and its own past.

Coming Back
Diary of a Mission to Afghanistan
Edoardo Albinati
Summary
In March 2002, the repatriation of Afghan refugees began. It was one of the largest migrations in history, an
exodus of biblical proportions, yet this time people were not fleeing, but returning to their own country, where
they found demolished houses, mined fields, and no water supplies. Edoardo Albinati spent 4 months in
Afghanistan working in the UNHCR centers where the tide of returnees was at its peak. He travelled around the
cities of Kabul, Kandahar, the deserts and the rural areas in search of solutions for the reintegration of the
refugees. This book-written with the zest of a diarist and peopled by a myriad unforgettable faces and stories-is
the daily account of what he saw, heard, and did while hundreds of thousands of people struggling for survival
rolled past in overcrowded trucks. It is the critical, impassioned testimony of a gigantic collective effort whose
outcome is still highly uncertain.

Good Morning Afghanistan

Waseem Mahmood, Hamid Karzai
Summary
A case of food poisoning kept Waseem Mahmood off American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon
on September 11, 2001. Following the horrific attacks of that day, the ensuing invasion of Afghanistan, and the
fall of the Taliban, Mahmood felt compelled to ensure that the events on the ground in the country were
broadcast to Aghanis and the world beyond. Headed by Mahmood, a group of local and foreign journalists
responded to the events by producing a radio program based in Kabul to disseminate much-needed information.
Told with searing honesty, humor, and pathos, this is a story of struggle and courage in the face of war and
strife.

Burma
A Nation at the Crossroads
Benedict Rogers, Desmond Tutu
Summary
The first major book on the contemporary situation in Burma-at a fascinating time of fast-moving
change in the country.
For more than 50 years, Burma has been ruled by a succession of military regimes which rank among the most
oppressive dictatorships in the world. Accused of crimes against humanity, they have brutally mistreated their
people.
Yet in the last couple of years, and in spite of sham elections, the pace of change has been breathtaking. Much
is now hoped for. However, Burma is one of the most ethnically diverse nations in SE Asia: there are roughly

Exodus Burma
The British Escape through the Jungles of Death 1942
Felicity Goodall
Summary
Until a few weeks before the fall of Rangoon, the British had not dreamed the Japanese would invade Burma. So
in early 1942, British soldiers trained for desert warfare fought a Japanese Army trained and equipped for the
jungle. Those who survived this fierce fighting faced malaria, air attack, and lack of food and water, on the long
walk out through the Valley of Death. Ragged groups of soldiers and civilians were forced to trek out of Burma
through some of the most inhospitable terrain in the world. They hacked their way through jungle, forded rivers,
and climbed steep mountainsides to escape. Many did not survive the journey. Among these incredible stories
was that of Bill Williams, who led refugees out on a herd of elephants. Other civilians who had enjoyed an idyllic
colonial lifestyle were ill-equipped for the journey. Setting off with the family silver and their pets, they soon had
to abandon all but the essentials in order to survive. Thousands died, but many more crossed the border into

Ancestors
The Story of China Told through the Lives of an Extraordinary Family
Frank Ching
Summary
Frank Ching brings to life 900 years of Chinese history through his own fascinating family tree. Beginning with his
search for the grave of his first-recorded ancestor, the 11th-century poet Qin Guan, and ending with a moving
account of his relationship with his father, a victim of China's historic upheaval, Frank Ching introduces a colorful
cast of characters. His unbroken family line includes-among many others-a lovelorn concubine, a traitor, a
military hero, an imperial ghost-writer, a minister of punishments, and a woman noted for her skills in both verse
and martial arts. There is scarcely an aspect of Chinese life, from shamanism to violent rebellion, that Ching
doesn't touch upon in this fascinating work. Through his vivid and personal portraits of his ancestors, the history
of China itself unfolds: from the days of the ancient empire to its radical transformation today.

Behind the Red Door

Sex in China
Richard Burger
Summary
A sexual revolution is underway in China. Traditional morals and behavior are being turned on their head as the
country's climb towards economic prosperity brings sex into the open. But it is a revolution distinctly different
from the one experienced in the West and has taken unexpected twists and turns.
Written in a highly engaging and readable style, Behind the Red Door: Sex in China takes the reader on a journey
from ancient days, when China's rulers relied on shockingly vivid Daoist sex manuals, to the present, where China
is torn between sexual orthodoxy and Western-style openness.

Chinese Identity in Post-Suharto Indonesia

Culture, Politics and Media
Chang-Yau Hoon
Summary
During Suharto's New Order (1966-1998), the ethnic Chinese expanded the nation's economy (and their own
wealth), but, paradoxically, were marginalised and discriminated against in all social spheres: culture, language,
politics, entrance to state-owned universities, and public service and public employment. Following the fall of
Suharto, and the anti-Chinese riots in May 1998, Indonesia underwent a process of "Reformasi"and
democratisation, whereby for the first time in several decades Chinese culture became more visible. Many ethnic
Chinese took advantage of the new democratic space to establish political parties, non-governmental
organisations (NGOs) and action groups to fight for the abolition of discriminatory laws, defend their rights and
promote solidarity between ethnic groups in Indonesia. They utilised the Reformasi atmosphere to promote
pluralism and multiculturalism, and to liberate their long-suppressed identity and cultural heritage. … This book

In the Valley of the Yangtze

Stories from an American Childhood in China
Helen Roberts Thomas, Katherine P. Granfield
Summary
A China-born daughter of American Episcopal missionaries tells a story of China that is little-known to both
Chinese and Americans in this robust memoir. What were Americans doing in China in the 1920s and 30s, and
how did an American child come to be born and raised there? Helen Roberts Thomas and her family were part of
a vibrant international community in the Yangtze Valley in the first part of the 20th century. The community was
made up of educators, missionaries, and doctors as well as technical and military advisors to the new Chinese
government. Freshly topical amid the current American fascination with another new China, this coming-of-age
story mingles history with culture, politics, and crossing paths with the famous. And yet it is also a family story:
dedicated to the memory of her parents; dotted with sibling love, rivalry, rebellion, and achievement; and written

Shanghai, Past and Present

A Concise Socio-Economic History, 1842?2012
Niv Horesh
Summary
This book sets out to explain how Shanghai emerged from relative obscurity in 1842 to become one of the
world's best-known finance and industry hubs. As China's largest city, Shanghai today plays a central economic
role, much as it did in the 1920s. The author provides a concise diachronic survey of the economic history of
modern Shanghai, setting out how the city's urban infrastructure, municipal institutions, consumer culture, and
industry have shaped, and have been shaped by, this economic power house. The work tackles a range of
themes, including the city's millionaires, then and now; racial tensions and quotidian liaisons between Europeans
and Asians before World War II; and the gambling and prostitution industry. The postwar era is portrayed in
comparative discussions on Shanghai under Mao Zedong, and during the reform era. These discussions bring the
narrative up to date to cover important events such as the designation of the Pudong precinct as the city's new

Tales About China and the Chinese

Peter Parley, Andrew Chubb
Summary
Filled with a whimsical sense of humor and fantastic fables of faraway lands, this book, originally written for
children, offers a Western perspective on China in the mid-19th century. Using vivid detail and excellent
cartoons, it demonstrates the clash between the Marco Polo-inspired view of a mythically serene China and the
political realities of the Opium War, including the harsh, colonial era. A delightful mix of fact and fancy, it
encapsulates the ethos of an era when the West saw China as a remote and unspoiled empire, ripe for the

Tales of Old Peking

Inside the Walls of China's Tumultuous Capital
Derek Sandhaus
Summary
A forbidden city for Westerners for hundreds of years, China's capital has always been viewed as one of the
world's most mysterious cities. This book re-creates a sense of old Peking through a pastiche of historical
snippets-stories, quotations, cartoons, postcards and drawings-and shares intriguing tidbits about the Imperial
Court. Placing Peking in the context of the Boxer Rebellion, when two very different yet equally headstrong
cultures clashed, this is a valuable source for those interested in Chinese history.

The Complete History of China

J. A. G. Roberts
Summary
An account of China's rise to world power status, this is a useful guide for anyone who wants to understand this
dynamic society. The study explores China's entire history, from prehistoric times to the present day. Some
aspects of China's history are hotly debated, but this book offers a path through these conflicting views on the
development of China throughout history. It reveals the immense riches and sophistication of ancient China, and
banishes the view of Chinese history as a long, repetitive catalogue of one dynasty following another. In drawing
together the broad themes of political, social, economic, and cultural history, the dramatic development of one
of the world's great civilizations is brought to life.

The Reporter and the Warlords

An Australian at Large in China's Republican Revolution

Summary
Full of intrigue and swashbuckling adventure, the story of an Australian journalist who was at the heart of the
most turbulent period in Chinese history
Set against the turbulent background of China in the first half of the 20th Century, this reads like a romantic

Women of the Long March

Lily Xiao Hong Lee, Sue Wiles
Summary
The Long March, a year-long retreat made by the Chinese Communist Red Army escaping from destruction by the
Nationalist forces, is a central turning point in the history of modern China. Thirty women marched with the top
leaders, including Mao Zedong and Deng Xioping, during the 6,000-mile trek, and 3,000 women were among the
ranks. This book, one of the few to focus on the women, tells their story through the biographies of three key
players. Just 17 when they became lovers, Mao's second wife, He Zizhen, bore his children along the way and
was forced to leave them behind; Kang Kequing, wife of Zhu De, endured the same hardships as the men,
shouldered arms, and fought alongside her male comrades; Commander Wang Quanyuan was captured with her
battalion by enemy cavalry that forced the women to become concubines. Drawing on interviews and published
and unpublished sources, this book details their experiences on the March and subsequent lives in Communist
China.

A Comparison of Cambodian Remigration

Summary
This study compares narratives on migration, institutional entrepreneurial activity, and return through a sample
of Cambodian American and Cambodian French citizens coming back to their home country. It explores the ways
in which these returnees create and employ their social capital in institutional entrepreneurial activities upon
return, explaining why some start NGOs while others work for the Cambodian government. This subject is linked
to the societal debate on the ways in which the broad spectrum of institutional entrepreneurial activities may
impact the development of an emerging nation.

A Comprehensive History of India

Prehistory of India: Vol. 1, Part 1
M. K. Dhavalikar
Summary
This thoroughly researched first volume on the history of India shows that the development of human culture in
South Asia can be properly understood only by studying the prehistoric past. The prehistoric phase forms the
longest period in human history, covering a few millennia, whereas the knowledge of writing was acquired by man
just 5,000 years ago. The antiquity of man now goes back to 3.6 million years, and since then man has been
progressing against all odds. This book details the systematic excavations that have been carried out and the
data that has been scientifically analyzed to show the stages of cultural evolution from food gathering to food
producing, including contributions from acknowledged experts in the field. It also places significant emphasis on
scientific evidence to demonstrate the role of the environment in the evolution of cultures.

Trade, Diplomacy and War in Kerala Through the Ages
K. K. Nair
Summary
Going well beyond the usual narratives on Kerala history, this study discusses the unique history of a state
described in colonial documents as being perpetually at war but, remarkably, whose people have been historically
happy. Ever since its discovery, Kerala's political climate was characterized by a variety of Chinese, Arab,
European, and local powers fighting each other for economic and military ascendancy. And yet, despite centuries
of foreign contact and conflict, it continued to thrive and retain its independence. The influences Kerala
absorbed were of its own choosing. This book hypothesizes that this remarkable achievement was a direct
consequence of Kerala's unique military, diplomatic, social, and economic culture. A society by no means perfect,
but fairly close, causing British administrators to record that society in Kerala had arrived close to fulfilling the
utilitarian dictum of "the largest possible happiness of the largest numbers."

Changing Minds
A Guide to Facilitated Participatory Planning
Cole P. Dodge, Gavin Bennett
Summary
Conventional planning methods often do not suffice for complex institutions such as health systems and
development projects, and this book introduces the practice of facilitated participatory planning (FPP), a new
way of planning for a world that is multifaceted, competitive, and ever changing. The authors argue that
involving all the key stakeholders in the process makes for a trustworthy, inclusive, balanced, and dynamic
planning system. This analysis charts the evolution of FPP from pioneer concepts of awareness, empowerment,
learning by doing, visualization, creative group processes, and incremental questions into a complete and up-to-
date system of principles and techniques. It includes case studies that show how FPP has been used
successfully where other planning methods have failed. Academics, researchers, and managers who require
planning procedures that go beyond the hierarchical approach will find this to be an invaluable resource.

Education in Colonial India

Historical Insights
Deepak Kumar, Joseph Bara, Nandita Khadria, Ch. Ra...
Summary
The collection of essays in this volume tries to address some of the issues and developments in the making of an
inclusive knowledge society in colonial India, and the transmission of knowledge through agents and institutions
of education in modern India from a historical perspective. The pace of knowledge diffusion has increased
particularly over the last century, but the education system in India today is basically a legacy of the two
centuries of colonial rule, with limited and uneven access to knowledge. The volume traces the growth of
knowledge in India in modern times and its conflict with existing societal and religious expectations and also of
the conflict between individual and institutional ideas. It also addresses the issue of social exclusion-be it
sectional, regional or gender oriented-and explores the growth of a new system of education in modern India.

Indian Indenture in the Straits Settlements

The Politics of Policy and Practice in the Straits Settlements
David Chanderbali
Summary
Based on remarkably detailed original research, this study examines 19th-century, Indian indentured-migration
work in Malaysia. Tracking the arrival of the Indian people and the history of labor movements, the account
analyzes similarities in the broad labor system while differentiating between distinct local elements. Free of the
ethnic bias prevalent in other studies, this resource ultimately offers a better understanding of the current inter-
ethnic relationships of Indian communities in the Caribbean, South Africa, Mauritius, and Fiji.

India's Unending Journey

Mark Tully
Summary
Born in India and educated in Britain, Mark Tully is a citizen of two countries and two cultures, both of which
have shaped his thinking and given him a unique perspective on the world today. In this thoughtful and
remarkable book, he shares the formative experiences of his upbringing, his early vocation as a priest, his
distinguished broadcasting career, and his fascination for India's traditions as well as its modern customs. India is
changing rapidly and will soon become one of the world's most influential nations alongside China and America. In
fascinating, accessible style, Tully shows the many lessons he has learned from India and-most importantly-what
he believes India has yet to teach other countries about ways to deal with economic growth and poverty relief,
environmental issues, education, management, and democracy. As he explains, India's journey is one towards a
future in which we must draw deeply upon our spiritual and material resources and strive to find a balance in the
face of uncertainty.

Spectacular Politics
Performative Nation-building and Religion in Modern India
Clemens Six
Summary
How does one explain the historical processes through which abstract ideas such as the idea of a nation become
a motivation for mass mobilization, political re-organization and even violence on a large scale? This book seeks
to find answers to this question in the context of India's modern history during its long eventful 20th century.
Starting from the early stages of Gandhian mass mobilization after the First World War and subsequently
proceeding to more recent examples of Hindu-nationalism, the book analyzes "spectacular politics" as a distinct
form of political communication. It thereby seeks to understand not only how the idea of the nation turned into
the most powerful political idea in modern India, but also how political communication and mobilization work in an
extremely heterogeneous and fragmented society. As Indian society becomes more and more involved in
globalization and internationalization, many seemingly self-evident paradigms of India's self-understanding such

Spying for the Raj

The Pundits and the Mapping of the Himalaya
Jules Stewart
Summary
From the early nineteenth century, Imperial Russian expansion threatened the increasing British dominance of
India. In the 1860s, Captain Thomas Montgomerie hit on the idea of training natives from Indian border states to
be surveyors, and have them explore the region covertly. Disguised as traders of Buddhist monks, the Pundits
taught themselves to count their own paces and to walk at exactly 2,000 paces to the mile, whether uphill,
downhill or on level ground. They were taught the use of sextant and compass, to navigate by the stars and to
calculate altitudes by observing the boiling point of water. These loyal servants of the Raj, for personal prestige,
the opportunity of employment or the sheer love of adventure displayed an extraordinary dedication to their
British employers. Despite their precautions and tricks, some of them were sent back, imprisoned or tortured.
Even so, they managed to map the Himalaya, Tibet and surrounding areas with remarkable precision, thereby

The Armed Forces of Independent India: 1947-2006

Kaushik Roy
Summary
In this monograph, an attempt has been made to analyse the historical evolution of independent India's armed
forces. The development of the armed forces as an institution, its nature, purpose and the formulation of the
doctrines as regards the functions of the Indian military are the central concerns of this volume. It also opens up
the question regarding the nature of the Indian state. The methodology followed is an amalgam of organizational
culture analysis and history of idea approach. In order to assess India's success in harnessing military power vis-
à-vis other developing countries, a comparative methodology is followed. A proper evaluation of the Indian armed
forces' combat effectiveness is impossible without a detailed analysis of the militaries of Pakistan and China. The
rigorous analysis of the empirical data will probably provide the Indian strategic managers with some policy
relevance.

The India Mosaic

Searching for an Identity . . .
Bibek Debroy, D. Shyam Babu
Summary
A varied cross section of India's current intelligentsia contribute to this anthology of essays addressing what
India represents for today and what it should stand for in the future. Aside from its booming economy there are
a number of key issues India must confront, among them the treatment of women and minorities, the conflict
between secularism and religion, and cultural phenomenons like the rise of Bollywood. Just as significant as the
pragmatic aspects of these concerns is the degree to which they affect India's overall image-the idea of India-
both internally and internationally.

A History of the Indian State Forces (1888?1948): Part I
Richard Head, Tony McClenaghan
Summary
This pioneering and comprehensive volume on the history of the Indian State Forces provides hitherto unknown
information on battle and campaign honors, awards won by the Forces, as well as maps, color plates, and
detailed notes on uniforms and insignia. At the time of India's independence there were some 560 Princely
States, of which 58 maintained armed forces to a standard fit for use in the defense of India if needed. These
states chose to join the Imperial Service Troops scheme, established in the late 1880s and lasting until 1920,
and then the Indian State Forces scheme that took over in 1920 and continued through to 1947. The detailed
history of each, and even more local forces outside of the two schemes, is covered in this thorough reference
that is primed to be the top authority on Indian State Forces history.

The Master and the Disciple

Interactions between Gandhi and Nehru and their Impact on Modern Indian History
Sangita Mallik
Summary
While it is generally known that Mahatma Gandhi had great affection for Jawaharlal Nehru and that this was one
of the most important factors in the latter succeeding him as the leading figure in the Indian National Congress
and becoming the Prime Minister of India, it is seldom realized that the relationship between the two was one of
the most determining factors in the history of the Congress and consequently in that of modern India, both
before and after the achievement of Independence. To bring all this into focus has been the main objective of
this work.
Part one of the book consists of the texts of letters exchanged between Gandhi and Nehru and part two shows
the impact of the Gandhi-Nehru relationship on the history of the Indian National Congress. Some of the moving
writings of Nehru on Gandhi after the latter's passing away, showing Nehru's deep attachment to the master,

The Mughal World

India's Tainted Paradise
Abraham Eraly
Summary
The Mughal emperors were larger-than-life figures, men written on a supra-human scale who exercised absolute
power. The three centuries of their rule mark one of the most crucial and fascinating periods of Indian history.
This study looks beyond the story of the empire's rise and fall-an exotic growth that was transplanted to India
from Islamic Persia-to bring the world of the Mughal ruler and Hindu subject vividly into focus. Blending
contemporary sources and detailed description, an India full of strangeness and contrast is introduced: sacred
harems and suttee rites, brutal war and cultural and artistic refinement, staggering opulence, deviant
indulgences, and abject poverty. The bizarre religious cults, the Mughal fondness for formal gardening, the
murderous female bandits, the sex lives of the nobles, and beyond-almost every aspect of life is examined,
making this a comprehensive and absorbing introduction to India's last Golden Age.

The Nature and Grounds of Political Obligation in the Hindu State

J. J. Anjaria, Shailendra Anjaria, Ulka Anjaria
Summary
A lucid analysis of the role of the state in Hindu thought, this work discusses how Hindus see its rulers as
subservient to Dharma, regarded as the elegant conceptual framework to understand the universe and thereby
also the nature of political obligation and the purpose of human activity. This work goes on to argue that the
modern state's regulation of men and institutions based on birth, power, wealth, or gender simply blocks the
fulfillment of the individual's true aspirations and the development of a harmonious society. He calls for a
renewed concept of Dharma, which would allow the state, in a true democracy, to fulfill its crucial role of
supporting individual human endeavor. This new edition of the original 1935 classic by the legendary Indian
scholar, economist, and policymaker J. J. Anjaria carries an additional preface by the author's son and new
introduction by the author's granddaughter.

Summary
This is the third volume in a series that provides the texts of the Fortnightly Reports sent by the governors of
the United Provinces to the viceroy-110 documents printed in total, including other key pieces sent by the
governors or their secretaries. This installment covers the last 10 months of the first Congress Ministry in the
U.P. and the last 11 months of Sir Harry Haig's term as governor. 1939 was a very disturbed year in the U.P.,
with a marked increase in communal tension and violence. The Muslim League was growing in strength as well as
bodies like the Mahasabha, Youth League, and Forward Bloc. The Ministry itself was destabilized as a result of
pressure from the left-wing elements within Congress and the dissatisfaction of the wider electorate. In
September, war broke out between Britain and Germany. Negotiations were unsuccessful, and in November the

The Samurai
Swords, Shoguns and Seppuku
Ben Hubbard
Summary
A complete, accessible account of the Japanese samurai-from warlords and women warriors to famous battles
and ritual suicides
The true nature of the samurai warrior is an elusive and endlessly fascinating enigma for those in the west. From
their inauspicious beginnings as barbarian-subduing soldiers, the samurai lived according to a code known as
bushido, or "Way of the Warrior." Bushido advocated loyalty, honor, pride, and fearlessness in combat. Those
who broke the code were expected to perform seppuku, or suicide through belly-slitting. By its very design,
seppuku aimed to restore honor to disgraced warriors by ensuring the most painful of deaths. But as the samurai
grew into large warrior clans, the bushido virtues of loyalty and honor fell into question, as control was seized

Massacre in Malaya
Exposing Britain's My Lai
Christopher Hale
Summary
The first book to draw upon new files from the British National Archives, it also features interviews with veterans
from both sides of the conflict to expose the truth behind the Batang Kali massacre
The Malayan Emergency (1948-1960) was the longest war fought by British and Commonwealth forces in the
20th century. Today this "war without a name" is largely forgotten, though it had a powerful and secret
influence on American strategy in Vietnam. Drawing upon recently released files from the British National
Archives, this history will unfold a compelling narrative based on eyewitness accounts from both government
forces and Communist fighters, and will expose the truth about the notorious massacre of Chinese villagers at
Batang Kali. Furthermore, it will show that British tactics in Malaya were more ruthless than historians have so

Moon Over Malaya

The 2nd Argylls and Plymouth Argyll Royal Marines in Malaya and Singapore
Audrey Holmes McCormick, Jonathan Moffatt
Summary
What really happened in Singapore and Malaya during the dark days of December 1941 to February 1942?
Contrary to received wisdom, Singapore was not given up without a fight, as the testimony of the men
interviewed here attests. For many, of course, escape was not possible and they ended up in the notorious
Japanese POW camps. Their suffering also forms part of this classic study. The fighting at the Slim River in
Malaya in January 1942, a rearguard to keep the Japanese back until reinforcements could reach Singapore, is
dramatic enough on its own. Seven Battalion commanders would die there; only two brigadiers and two battalion
commanders would survive. The story of the camps is unforgettable: the Japanese soldier had been ordered to
shoot the comatose man "to prevent the spread of cholera," but he was shaking so much he could not produce a
fatal shot. So Primrose took the rifle, walked up and from six inches shot the man dead. The Japanese accused
Spellmount him of murder.

Defending the Lion City

The Armed Forces of Singapore

Summary
Surrounded by larger and more populous nations in the heart of the Muslim Malay world, Singapore has been

has met its defense needs with characteristic determination, building powerful, well-equipped and highly-trained
armed forces based on a relatively small professional core and much larger numbers of conscript and reservist
citizen soldiers.

Tales of Old Singapore

The Glorious Past of Asia's Greatest Emporium
Iain Manley
Summary
Using a patchwork of words and images from Singapore's residents and visitors of yesteryear, this book shares
the often untold colonial past of this busy trading port while shedding light on Asian culture. Old Singapore was
an eclectic trade emporium where an ethnically and culturally diverse populace coalesced under the aegis of the
British Empire. It was a fascinating world filled with traders of all nations, roving bands of pirates, murderers
running amok, and even the occasional flesh-hungry tiger. This collection illuminates Singapore's often untold
colonial past, giving perspective to its rapid economic development into the powerhouse it is today.

George Katsiaficas
Summary
The grassroots movements in nine places in East Asia in the 1980s and 1990s are empirically reconstructed in
this volume. Asian history, especially radical history, is a subject often glossed over in the West. Seeking to
remedy that, this book begins with an overview of late-20th-century history, the context within which these
movements arose. The author relates Asian uprisings to predecessors in 1968 and shows their subsequent
influence on the wave of uprisings that swept Eastern Europe at the end of the 1980s. Then, by detailing the
histories of uprisings in nine places-the Philippines, Burma, Tibet, China, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Thailand,
and Indonesia-significant insight into major constituencies of change and the trajectories of these societies
becomes visible. This book places the grassroots movements in a global context and analyzes them in light of

Foreign Devils on the Silk Road

The Search for the Lost Treasures of Central Asia
Peter Hopkirk
Summary
The story of the intrepid men who, at great personal risk, led the long-range archaeological raids on the Silk
Road, incurring the undying wrath of the Chinese
The Silk Road, which linked imperial Rome and distant China, was once the greatest thoroughfare on earth. Along
it traveled precious cargoes of silk, gold, and ivory, as well as revolutionary new ideas. Its oasis towns
blossomed into thriving centers of Buddhist art and learning. In time it began to decline. The traffic slowed, the
merchants left, and finally its towns vanished beneath the desert sands to be forgotten for a thousand years.
But legends grew of lost cities filled with treasures and guarded by demons. In the early years of the last
century foreign explorers began to investigate these legends, and very soon an international race began for the
art treasures of the Silk Road. Huge wall paintings, sculptures, and priceless manuscripts were carried away by
John Murray the ton nd are today scattered through the museums of a dozen countries.

Published to coincide with Samoa's first 50 years of independence, Samoa's Journey covers subjects as diverse
as the country's literature and media, its society and sporting achievements. In 1962, Samoa became an

has a university, hospitals, independent media outlets, and a unique parliamentary system that incorporates
significant elements of Samoan culture and tradition while retaining the principles of democracy. While Samoans
are now spread throughout the world, most retain strong links to their culture and families back home. All play
their part in maintaining Samoa as a proud independent nation. Samoa's Journey documents Samoa's progress as
it celebrates its first 50 years of independence.

Setting the East Ablaze

Lenin's Dream of an Empire in Asia
Peter Hopkirk
Summary
"Let us turn our faces towards Asia," exhorted Lenin when the long-awaited revolution in Europe failed to
materialize. "The East will help us conquer the West." Peter Hopkirk's book tells for the first time the story of the
Bolshevik attempt to set the East ablaze with the heady new gospel of Marxism. Lenin's dream was to liberate
the whole of Asia, but his starting point was British India. A shadowy undeclared war followed. Among the
players in this new Great Game were British spies, Communist revolutionaries, Muslim visionaries, and Chinese
warlords-as well as a White Russian baron who roasted his Bolshevik captives alive. Here is an extraordinary tale
of intrigue and treachery, barbarism and civil war, whose violent repercussions continue to be felt in Central Asia
today.

The Chiefs' Country

Leadership and Politics in Honiara, Soloman Islands
Michael Kwa'ioloa, Ben Burt
Summary
In this autobiographical account of life in the capital of the Solomon Islands, Michael Kwa'ioloa reflects on the
challenges of raising a family in town and sustaining ties with a distant rural homeland on Malaita island.
Continuing the long tradition of Kwara'ae community leaders participating in political activism, he discusses how
the roles of these leaders were severely tested by the violent conflict between Malaitans and the indigenous
Guadalcanal people at the turn of the century. Kwa'ioloa provides a local perspective on the causes and course
of this unhappy episode in his country's history and describes a need for a way of life founded upon ancestral
values, giving chiefs a role in the governance of Solomon Islands.

The Great Game

On Secret Service in High Asia
Peter Hopkirk
Summary
For nearly a century the two most powerful nations on earth, Victorian Britain and Tsarist Russia, fought a
secret war in the lonely passes and deserts of Central Asia. Those engaged in this shadowy struggle called it
"The Great Game," a phrase immortalized by Kipling. When play first began, the two rival empires lay nearly 2,000
miles apart. By the end, some Russian outposts were within 20 miles of India. This classic book tells the story of
the Great Game through the exploits of the young officers, both British and Russian, who risked their lives playing
it. Disguised as holy men or native horse-traders, they mapped secret passes, gathered intelligence, and sought
the allegiance of powerful khans. Some never returned. The violent repercussions of the Great Game are still
convulsing Central Asia today.

The Independence of East Timor

Multi-Dimensional Perspectives ? Occupation, Resistance, and International Political Activism
Clinton Fernandes
Summary
This book is a history of the struggle for independence after East Timor was invaded by Indonesia in 1975. The
occupation, which lasted 24 years, was immediately resisted through guerrilla warfare and clandestine
resistance. A continuum of effort between the armed freedom fighters in the mountains, the resilience of urban
supporters, and international activism and support eventually brought about liberation in September 1999. Given
that the Timor rebels did not have a land border with a friendly state, had no external supplier of weapons and
no liberated area in which to recover between guerrilla operations, their successful resistance is unique in the
history of guerrilla warfare and independence struggles. Equally uncommon was an unexpected weapon in the
struggle - a remarkable display of strategic non-violent action. … The Independence of East Timor is the first
study to integrate all the major factors in East Timor's independence struggle. The multi-dimensional

The Portuguese in Malabar

A Social History of Luso Indians
Charles Dias
Summary
The 500-year-old community of Portuguese descendants in Malabar, now called Kerala, is composed of an
interesting group of people whose history goes back to the beginnings of European interaction with northern
India. This study concentrates on the Portuguese influence from the end of the 15th century to present times,
exploring their commercial and religious interventions in Malabar and the resultant political polarization and social
changes. In 1453, Constantinople was blockaded by Ottoman Turks, which prevented Europeans from trading
with Asian countries and made it necessary for Europeans to find a new sea-route to India. Finally, two
Portuguese navigators, Vasco da Gama, followed by Pedro Alvares Cabral, reached Calicut in 1498 and 1500,
respectively, leading to the creation of the so-called Portuguese State of India in 1505. The policy of politics
through marriages was introduced by Afonso de Albuquerque, who married Portuguese soldiers with Indian

The Unveiling of Lhasa

Edmund Candler, David Leffman
Summary
In this candid look into Asian colonial supremacy, this account describes what began in December of 1903, when
a border dispute escalated amid rumors of a proposed secret alliance between Russia and the religious monarchy
at Lhasa. British Colonel Francis Younghusband marched his Indian troops north with a battalion of Asian laborers
and special correspondent Edmund Candler from The Daily Mail in tow. This record not only describes the thrilling
journey experienced by a group of men deep into the heart of Tibet, but also provides an interesting history of a
conflict known as "The Great Game."

The Uprising of 1857

Before and Beyond
Kaushik Roy
Summary
Most studies of the 1857 Uprising look at the causes, the course of events, and the consequences. This edited
volume takes a different approach. It goes before 1857 and focuses on the first half of the 19th century to look
for the presence of long-term structural factors (if any) behind the momentous events of 1857. Several
contributors have studied the late 19th century in order to understand the impact of the Uprising on Indian
society and mentality. Spatially too the contributors to this volume go beyond India to locate 1857 within the
emerging trend of global history. The essayists do not fall within any single school. The heterogeneous outlook of
the contributors is indeed a strength of this volume as it widens the methodological traits and empirical base of
essays. Hence, the 1857 Uprising (itself a neutral term) is considered by some contributors as a Sepoy Rebellion
and for others it was an Indian Mutiny. Another contribution of this edited volume is a comprehensive
Manohar Publishers bibliography that will help scholars in further research.

Summary
Hyderabad state, before the Independence of India, covered an area of 82,698 sq. miles, with 16 districts was
an extensive plateau with an average elevation of about 1,250 feet above sea level. It was divided between two
equally great trappean regions, corresponding to the geological and ethnological aspects of the state, which
divided the region, viz., the Godavari and Manjira, separating as they do the Maratha race from the Telugu and
Kanarese people of the south, the region of trappean rocks of the north and west from the granite and limestone
region of the south and east; and the land of wheat and cotton from the land of rice and tanks.

Xanadu
Marco Polo and Europe's Discovery of the East
John Man
Summary
Respected historian and travel writer John Man tells the remarkable story of the world's most famous traveler-
Marco Polo-and the moment when East met West for the first time
Marco Polo's late 13th-century journey from Venice, through Europe and most of Asia, to China is one of the
most audacious in history. His account of his experiences, known simply as The Travels, uncovered an entirely
new world of emperors and concubines, great buildings-"stately pleasure domes" in Coleridge's dreaming, huge
armies, and imperial riches. He revealed the wonders of Xanadu, where the emperor Kublai Khan spent his
summers. His book shaped the West's understanding of China for hundreds of years, inspiring Christopher
Columbus, who was aiming for Kublai's China when he stumbled on America. John Man traveled in Marco Polo's
footsteps to Xanadu, in search of the truth behind his stories; to separate legend from fact. He takes readers
