About this book

Sir James Brookes curious career began in 1841 when he was caught up in a war in Brunei. He was an opportunist who with the Sultans backing made war on the Dayaks tribespeople and as a result found himself ruling over Sarawaka kingdom the size of England. How he achieved it is a romantic sometimes horrifying story. This historical biography recalls the best and the worst of the British Imperial character.
