After serving as the British High Commissioner in Malaya during the 1930s, R.H. Bruce Lockhart returned to the region in the years following World War II to witness the dramatic changes that had taken place. His memoir offers a vivid account of the political and social upheaval that marked this period of history, from the Malayan Emergency to the struggle for independence from colonial rule. With a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the region's culture, Lockhart paints a compelling portrait of a nation in flux.
