'Dr. Ismail's writings and speeches, and his letters to the Tunku,
covering a variety of foreign policy issues, are a valuable asset
in understanding the unique role he played in the nation's history.
He was without doubt the primary architect of Malayan (Malaysian)
Foreign Policy'. - Tengku Tan Sri Dato' Seri Ahmad Rithauddeen,
Former Foreign Minister of Malaysia. 'Not only was Dr. Ismail Abdul
Rahman Malaysia's first ambassador to the United States and
permanent representative to the United Nations, he was also Foreign
Affairs Minister in 1959-60. Later, as long-time Home Affairs
Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and occasionally Acting Prime
Minister, he played a decisive role in making neutrality the pillar
of Malaysia's foreign policy. This important collection of notes he
wrote to the Tunku in 1958 and of his speeches made in 1957-58 at
the UN are being published for the very first time. It gives us a
window into his seminal thinking and makes us understand the
contribution he made to Malaysian nation-building in the early
years. Tawfik Ismail and Ooi Kee Beng deserve kudos for compiling
these into one volume and for providing elaborate footnoting that
presents the reader with an intriguing picture of the Cold War year
of 1958. The book is a 'must read' for the diplomatic corps and
Malaysian foreign policy analysts'. - Johan Saravanamuttu, Former
Political Science Professor and Dean, Science University Malaysia
(USM).
