Description - Thailand's Political History by B. J. Terwiel
First appearing in 2005 and quickly selling out, this fully revised edition of Thailand's Political History continues in the same style as the first but with its scope dramatically widened. It discusses the development and evolution of the Siamese state from the early Sukhothai period to the rise of the Chakri dynasty in the late 18th century and its consolidation of power in the 19th. Moving into the 20th century it traces the emergence of the Thai nation state. A new final chapter brings the reader up-to-date and addresses Thailand's current political situation. 16 colour and 41 b/w illustrations
