Thibaw's Queen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781171750284)

"Thibaw's Queen" recounts the dramatic life of Supayalat, the last queen of Burma. Wife of King Thibaw Min, Supayalat wielded considerable influence during her husband's reign. This historical account offers insights into the Burmese royal court and the political intrigues that ultimately led to the fall of the Konbaung Dynasty and the British annexation of Burma. Fielding's narrative captures the queen's strength and resilience amidst the turbulent events of the late 19th century, providing a compelling look at a pivotal moment in Southeast Asian history. A fascinating study of power, politics, and personality during a period of intense colonial expansion.
