This engaging book contains 53 of Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra's articles published fairly recently in The Star newspaper. They are partly an autobiography of a remarkable statesman, and partly a biography of the young years of the Malayan and later the Malaysian Nation- for the Tunku played the leading part in their births and early growths. As lawyer, statesman, diplomat, prime minister and born leader of men, he looks with frankness and candour in his confreres and contemporaries of both East and West, associating the events of his own career to the emergence of nationhood and to his lifetime of fostering friendship and peace between men and nations of goodwill everywhere. As father of two nations, first Malaya and then Malaysia, and as founder of the Association of South-East Asia (Now ASEAN), it is given to few other men in this region to know and understand with foresight and insight the forces and influences that once worked on the destinies of South-East Asia.
