Ten Years In Sarawak V2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163623688)

""Ten Years in Sarawak V2"" is a memoir written by Charles Brooke, who served as the second White Rajah of Sarawak, a region in Borneo, from 1870 to 1917. The book is a detailed account of Brooke's experiences during his ten-year tenure in Sarawak, where he worked to establish a stable government, improve the economy, and promote education and healthcare. In this second volume, Brooke continues his narrative of his time in Sarawak, detailing his efforts to combat piracy and headhunting, expand the region's infrastructure, and navigate the complex political landscape of Southeast Asia. Throughout the book, Brooke offers insights into the culture, customs, and traditions of the people of Sarawak, as well as his own personal reflections on his experiences. This book provides a unique perspective on colonialism and the challenges of governing a diverse and complex region during a time of great change.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
