Description:
Natural History Publications Borneo. 2004. Hard cover. New. No dust jacket as issued.. 138 p. . Few people have the distinction of placing their signature on a document that created a new nation. This book is about how the British Empire's last declared Colony of North Borneo became the State of Sabah in the Federation of Malaysia in 1963. Stephen Holley describes the unique flavour of the period from his insertion behind the Japanese in Sarawak in the dying days of the war until his departure as State Secretary of Sabah in 1964. It is a book written about Sabah s reconstruction and development by someone involved in the intimate task of District Administration and the arcane world of politics and diplomacy of the era.
