"Following the extremely successful book 'Tropical Quest', Derek Townsend set out on another journey - this time to explore the Orient. Once again his travels have been long and thorough, enabling him to capture the true atmosphere and excitement of the mystic east. Many critics have commented on his acute observation and forthright style - "as a truly professional writer he has learned the advantages of calling a spade, a spade. If he encounters a four letter object he uses the four letter word to describe it. Scenic or other beauty is painted with his pen in titivating detail arousing all the senses. Pertinent facts are always incorporated in an entertaining manner and cleverly blended with humour and anecdotal incidents." 'Eastern Quest' is no exception, and Derek Townsend utilises his known talen to thrill armchair travellers, who will find in this latest book a vivid, vital and exhilarating picture of India, Thailand, Hong Kong and Japan..."

"The history of Southeast Asia -- especially mainland Southeast Asia -- has been written as a history of kings and states. The modern states of Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam thread their way back into the past, and the emergence of these states, the importance of their capitals, and the power of their dynasties have been the dominant themes of the history of the region. This collection of essays challenges this perspective. Taken together, they question how powerful the great centers and their rulers really were. The authors shift the focus to smaller settlements and more peripheral communities, looking at the capitals and the central authority from this viewpoint. They react against the modern impulse to look at the commonalities of the region and instead concentrate on the variety. The result is an intimate and unusual view of historical Southeast Asia as a society of cosmopolitan cities, mobile communities, and fluid local politics. Essays consider Pegu, Arakan, Phuket, the Vietnamese port city of Hoi An, the eastern Martaban Bay port cities, and the Orang Laut and the Malay kingdoms of Melaka and Johor."

One of the few survivors [just over one in ten!] of the Sonkurai camp, the worst on the Burma - Siam railway, he kep a diary. His notes serve not so much as a chronology as the background to meditation." He was one of the few survivors (just over one in ten) of the Sonkurai camp on the Burma-Siam railway. While a Japanese prisoner he kept a diary. His notes serve as a background to this account and as a source of meditation on his Japanese captors. What to think of a Japanese Colonel who cried when a British officer accused him of bad faith? Or a Camp Commandant who, on the point of beheading a couple of prisoners (the author being one of them), changed his mind and invited them to share his sake?;Over 40 years later, the author returned to the Kwai, going beyond Sonkurai and into Burma with the guerrillas, ostensibly to see if the report of a steel bridge still standing in the jungle was true but also to reflect on his past experiences. he was one of david Leans [mostly ignored] advisors on the filming of The Bridge on The River Kwai.

First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. For many years this was the standard text book on Malaysian history and could still be said to be as good a place to start as any. However, like too many books of this period, it takes history as beginning around about 1400 AD.
