Sobre este artículo
London: John Murray Publishers, 2000. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/very good. Shennan, who grew up in British Malaya, doesn't set out to write a political history of the period, but rather of the British who lived there. Noel Coward's alledged description of Malaya as 'a first-rate country for a second-rate people' was a pretty fair reflection of British attitudes to commercial and colonial endeavours in the country for much of the period when the British were there. Through interviews with those who were still living and research into the writings of those who were not, the author makes a more sympathetic case than Coward for the British who, for better or ill, helped fashion the Malaysia of today. 426 pages divided into the following parts - I: The Building of British Malaya, 1880-1920, II - Golden Years, 1920-1940 & IIi: The Long Retreat, 1940-1960. There are maps, a glossary, notes, a bibliography and an index. Weight 1.1 Kg.Postage within Malaysia is free The dust jacket has some rubbing around the edges, but the book itself looks new

Sobre The Penang Bookshelf
The Penang Bookshelf was set up in mid 2010 principally to introduce Malaysian residents to the variety of books there is available about the country both past and present. We only stock fiction and non-fiction related to Malaysia and the rest of Asia. Much of our current stock of over a thousand different titles is not available in Malaysia. Conversely much of our stock published in Malaysia is difficult to find outside the country. So if there\'s something Malaysia related that you\'re looking for, do please contact us and we\'ll do our best to help. At present details of most of our stock is not on line; we hope it will be eventually!
