This is a fascinating and insightful biography of one of the
world's longest reigning and most revered monarchs. King Bhumibol
Adulyadej of Thailand is the world's longest reigning living
monarch - an achievement few would have predicted when the Thai
king acceded the throne after the mysterious death of his brother
in 1946. How did King Bhumibol revive the sinking fortunes of the
Thai monarchy? Why has he become arguably the most revered king in
Thai history? This illustrated biography tells that remarkable
story. Beginning with an introduction explaining the unique history
and traditions of the Thai monarchy, King Bhumibol Adulyadej offers
a fresh and insightful account of his life, from his birth in
America and education in Europe to his unexpected accession to the
throne. Following him through the Cold War and Indochina War
periods, the book shows how the king has used his position to help
develop the country and its people while at the same time securing
the status of the monarchy itself.
