In Thailand and World War II, Direk Jayanama provides a unique,
first-hand account of Thailand's diplomatic, military, and economic
history between 1938 and 1948. Diplomat, statesman, academic, and
writer, Direk Jayanama helped guide the Thai nation through a
turbulent period in its history. He was Deputy Prime Minister when
Thailand was forced on 8 December 1941 to accede to Japan's demand
that its troops be permitted safe passage through Thai territory on
their way to attack Singapore. In early 1942, Direk reluctantly
accepted an appointment as Thai Ambassador to Japan. Returning to
Thailand in July 1943 for health reasons, Direk went on to play a
significant role in the Free Thai movement that sought to make
contact with the Allies and overthrow the Japanese during the
waning years of the war. Direk Jayanama's remarkable skills were
employed to their greatest extent in the immediate post-war years.
He not only helped bring the state of war with Britain and
Australia to a successful conclusion, but he also played a major
role in enabling Thailand to obtain admittance to the United
Nations in 1948 and resume its full standing in the community of
nations. These detailed and fascinating memoirs include additional
chapters by key Free Thai members including Puey Ungphakorn, as
well as extensive appendixes containing the text of international
treaties and agreements to which Thailand was signatory. Jane Keyes
has served as a research assistant in the Far Eastern and Southeast
Asian Division of the Royal Institute of International Affairs in
London, has collaborated with Charles Keyes on Thai research
projects, and has held editorial positions at the Journal of Asian
Studies. She lives in Seattle.
