This review is from: White Rajahs of Sarawak (Hardcover)

The story of the Brooke Dynasty comprising James, Charles, Vyner and their families is told in this nicely illustrated book by Bob Reece, who is well-known for his documentation on Sarawak history. All the usual pictures are featured and nicely complement the text which is a synthesis of all the known biographies, stories and scandals written about the fabulous Brookes. A fascinating tale of local history.
