Acknowledges that the province on the far left of the map has always been a pretty strange place, but it also tells a serious story of touchy race relations, heroic men and women, and the kind of romance that makes sensible people want to write books. It's a new kind of history - intensely personal, impeccably researched, intentionally provocative, unexpectedly spiritual, and laugh-out-loud funny - that encourages us to question received wisdom and ponder the elusiveness of history.

The Malay Dilemma

1981188 pages. "Not all historians will agree with Dr. Mahathir's interpretation of events, historic and recent, in Malaysia and Singapore. This is certain to be a controversial book, and assuredly the author will be called upon to defend many of his statements and claims, indeed even perhaps the accuracy of his historical and biological data. This is not an objective work. Nevertheless, it is published because this is what an educated, modern progressive Malay thinks and believes. This is how a politicaly-inclined Malay understands the past, explains the behaviour of his own people and the behaviour of immigrants, and forsees the future." - from back cover.
