Much has been written about the Brookes of Sarawak, rather less about the Anglican Mission. Very little has appeared about the interaction between the two. This painstaking and well-researched study, based on a wide variety of primary sources, especially hitherto unpublished letters, helpsto fill many of the existing gaps and is an admirable addition to scholarly knowledge of Sarawak under the White Rajahs and British missionary activity there.

Sultan Haji Sir Omar Ali Saifuddin III (r. 1950-67), Brunei's twenty-eighth Ruler and the father of the present Sultan, His Majesty Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, is known as the 'Architect of Modern Brunei Darussalam' for his role in transforming Brunei from a backwater community, threatened with extinction, into a modern State adorned with mosques and palaces, while retaining its unique Kampong Ayer. Brunei, the only traditional Malay Islamic Monarchy enjoying an independent existence, reached its zenith in the early part of the sixteenth century, when its paramountcy was acknowledged throughout Borneo, the Sulu Archipelago, and the southern Philippines. The kingdom which Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin inherited, however, not only remained under the protection of Britain but had been reduced to a mere 5765 square kilometres, split into two enclaves - Brunei-Muara, Tutong, and Belait districts on the one side, and Temburong district on the other - by the annexation of the central Limbang district by Rajah Charles Brooke. Coveted for its massive oil wealth, the kingdom faced challenges both internally from anti-colonialist and independence movements and externally from its more powerful neighbours. This study describes in detail the way in which Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin conducted diplomatic relations with Great Britain in his efforts to restore the sovereignty and dignity of the Brunei monarchy, protect his dynastic interests as well as the interests of Brunei, resist British plans for forging political unions (first with the British colonies of North Borneo and Sarawak, and then with Malaysia), and attain self-government according to his own political agenda. But it ismore than a biography of a remarkable man's life and his times. The book adds to our knowledge and understanding of modern Brunei and its political life, of the ambitions and activities of the Sultan, the British, and other principal actors in Brunei's political scene, and of British policy in the latter days of empire in Asia.

"In 1878 a German named Overbeck and an Englishman named Dent travelled to North Borneo (now Sabah), announced to the locals that their ruler, the Sultan of Brunei, had sold all trade rights in the region, and left a young man named William Pryer to 'establish' the British North Borneo Company there. In 1894 Ada Pryer, who had married William in 1883, published her account of his early years as an administrator, along with some sketches of their life together. The result is a lively, vivid and compelling narrative." "The only book aimed at presenting North Borneo appealingly to British audiences, and thus capturing their political support for the British commercial presence there, Ada's little book functioned as a kind of immigration manual about a land where snakes were scarce and moonlight was plentiful. The memoir has value both as a travel narrative in its own right and for understanding the international politics of the British takeover of North Borneo." "This new edition reproduces the text of the original 1894 edition, and includes an introductory essay as well as annotations to explain and contextualize references of historical and biographical significance."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
